[quote]QUOTE: My question is, where are these helpers (prototype) kept and what does the crew do when they are not helping? I mean is there a side track they stay on and they just wait there or how does it work?[/quote] <br /> <br /> Yes, In Altoona helpers wait in the yard or next to Alto tower for the next assignment. They help the train over Horseshoe Curve through Galitzen into Cresson where the helpers are let off. A small service facility is located there. There is enough traffic here that they dont sit very long!
