The only time a train will deadhead is at the end of the night. The "sweeper train", last one on the route, will depart Main Street at midnight and will pick up passengers at each station (no drop-offs). When the train returns the Main Street and drops everyone on the train off, it will do a non-stop run to the roundhouse. You have to be working there to see that.

Well hopefully I do work for the DRR one day

I guess you could also see the deadhead if you were still in line for like Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, or Small World but they usually don't have long lines at night. Also shopping on Main Street after hours you could see it depart MSS.
