Posted by Matt Hultman on November 1, 2015  Do they still use SD40-2's as helpers here today? Posted by Mike Danneman on November 2, 2015  Matt, BNSF no longer uses SD40-2s as helpers out of Essex. Posted by Matt Hultman on November 2, 2015  Damn Shame...Do you know what they use there now? Posted by Mike Danneman on November 2, 2015  I’m pretty sure they still have manned-helpers out of Essex, but because of DPU’s it might not be as common anymore. If there are helpers, they are probably from the large GE (Dash 9s/ES44DC) fleet. Anyone know for sure?
