[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by broncoman What is going on in Reno with regards to this Re-Trac project? I haven't heard about this before. It seems that there are still a few manned helpers, but it seem to happen only when they are short on AC4400s, which is becoming less and less frequent. The best ones were the GP60 trios. I still seem to see double SD60s in the rear from time to time. Dave[/quote] Dave, It is my understanding which was stated at the top of the thread that as a normal part of operation over Donner, manned helpers are history. Although the railroad, trying to remain fluid would surely institude them at anytime if nessary, just like what happened with the Feather River Canyon closure and the increased pressure on Donner. With the exception of the above mentioned happing, its been a very long time since I've heard DS 74 mention helpers, and meets. And its been a good three years since I've seen helpers waiting at Lawton. But, I'm on this side of the hill, and your on that side. In the next couple of days, I'll try to do an update on the ReTRAC project with photos. SP9033
