Head end helpers |
| Description: |
Sometimes, due to train make up, the helpers were put up front. Typically this happened with Trailvans, but some other trains got them as well. Here we see a TV train on its way uphill. |

Westbound at the curve |
| Description: |
The train with the head end helpers passes the park at Horseshoe. Those were the days-an SD45, ex EL 3620, in the helper set, and an SD35 leading the train. |

Interesting yard power |
| Description: |
A GP 40-2 and a GP 10 work at the east end of Gang Mills yard, cleared onto the eastbound main from the yard lead as DABU rolls in from the west. The GP 40 was not unusual here. We saw lots of them in all kinds of service, from locals to stack trains. The GP 10, on the other hand, was something of a novelty, as they tended to stay down toward Enola and eastern PA. We rarely saw them on the Tier. |

Stacks east |
| Description: |
An eastbound stack train rolls through Dewitt behind a four unit set of GP40-2s. Hard to believe now with all the six axle power on everything, but this was typical power in the 80s and much of the 90s on intermodal trains. |
