Its All in the Equation - Adding Helpers at Dike - 1988

Adding a front-end helper at Dike, California onto a  WB

Getting out of town, Dike, California, SP SD45 9041

Open up and old SP Special Intructions and you would find the well worked out  formula that the SP used to place helpers in train. The WB at Dike above was light enough to get a front-end helper. They made a hell of a show getting out of town.
