In the early days of Conrail, whatever was running could be a helper. CR finally settled on the ex-CNJ SD40's and the 13 ex-EL SD45-2's. <br /> <br />After the SD40's were retired, the helper fleet consisted of SD40-2's and SD45-2's. <br /> <br />Even NS has seen fit to rely on SD40-2's to push and pull heavy freight and unit trains. <br /> <br />Even now there is an NS 536 coaltrain waiting at CP C in Conemaugh for his rear end helper(s). <br /> <br />It could get a 4-banger!
