Author: goneon66 i just saw an e/b u.p. stack train on the railfanaz cam in arizona. it was in a 3x2x0 configuration with approx. 258 wells/stacks.
do these huge stack trains get helpers out of w.colton up over the hill through to beaumont or do they make it over the hill unassisted? thanks for any info......... 66 Date: 06/13/22 19:14 Re: does u.p. use helpers e/b out of l.a. on the sunset rt.? Author: callum_out Havent heard lately but there used to be a helper set at Beaumont, need some local input.

Helpers are manily for WB manifests, and underpowered intermodals. Most cut off at Highland Springs between Beaumont and Banning. Rarely see them go west of Beaumont down the canyon.
