Remarks & Notes 
The manned Crawford helper shoves a coal load around Breezy Point with the customary sanders open and exhaust roaring! At the turn of the century 3-4 sets of manned helpers could be seen on duty shoving trains up this prairie mountain, times have changed. Usually there is only one manned shove working the hill, and it often waits for hours sitting for its next train to push. It is still spectacular place, but there is a lot more time now to take in the scenery between trains than there was 20 years ago,,,

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