Remarks & Notes

A set of helpers descend thru Slope Interlocking returning to Altoona. Before Conrail, both were former EL SD45-2s. CR 6661 was EL 3676 and CR 6663 was EL 3678. Both went to CSX in the 1999 breakup of Conrail. CR 6661 became CSX 8886 and CR 6663 became CSX 8889.

One artifact of the steam era that remains in use to this day; even modern AC traction locomotives need help on the biggest hills.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
