Helpers
D801 shoves hard on the rear of a loaded coal train as the head end and rear end crews do battle with Saugatuck Hill. Manned helpers were required on every coal train going up the hill until very recently, when CSX began adapting the use of DPUs. Even so, occasionally a train will still be pushed over the hill by manned helpers, a rarity in railroading these days. The Executive SD70MACs with the old school BNSF logo on the nose were always my favorite BNSF units.
