Up the hill |
Description: |
A pair of helpers shoves hard on the caboose as they assist a westbound. Note the diversity of rolling stock on this train, a sampling of now fallen flag roads NW, Southern, DT&I and C&NW. All memories, as is now Conrail for the past 20 years. |

Head end helpers |
Description: |
Trailvan and auto rack trains typically got helpers on the head end, due to the train handling tendencies of the long cars, especially on the many curves. Today an EL SD45-2 does the honors. |
