I remember a picture of a UP 4-10-2 helping a Santa-Fe freight on Cajon. I don't know if pooled use of helpers on the joint trackage was common or if this was an exception. <br /> <br />UP & NP power was pooled on the old Camas Prarie lines in Idaho, primarily 2-8-2's and 2-8-0's due to weight restrictions. It was a very interesting line during the last days of steam and the movie "Breakheart Pass" was filmed there. <br /> <br />That's a little different than the run-through pools today. I think the extended range of diesels make that more feasible than during the steam era.
