Helper Service Required
The big trains that the Southern Pacific operated over Tehachapi Pass meant big time helper service. The oil trains, the occasional coal trains and the lumber product trains from the northwest would all see multiple unit mid train helpers. These eastbound helpers are at the east switch of Walong Siding on October 5, 1985.
