The longest helper district in the steam era was on the Sante Fe between Needles, California (elevation 476ft) and Yampai Summit near Seligman, Arizona. This was a punishing 135 miles of 1.42 % climbing 4758 feet of elevation. Steam era helpers were also required eastbound Seligman to Crookton and Williams to Riordan at the Arizona Divide elevation 7354 feet. This is desert country and the lack of good water required Sante Fe to run water trains to replenish on line facilities. This lack of good water led to the early dieselization of desert sub divisions.
