I live in Oakridge, Oregon and we are the helper station for the Cascade sub of the Oregon Division of Union Pacific and almost all trains except Amtrak and pigs get two helpers on the rear, or occassionally on the front put on here or close by. There are usually 3 sets of helpers in the yard and the crews are ferried back and forth from Eugene Engine Board. I used to drive them for Alexs transportation, but that contract was dropped when UP decided to try robot helpers, big mistake didnt work on this mean hill. So its back to human two man crews and doing a great job!!! If you are ever in Oregon come to Oakridge, and take Hills Street or the overpass at the light to the tracks and have fun taking pics of the operations here, about 20 trains a day more or less are thru here a lot at nights unfortunatey, but enuf good action to have fun Richard Cameron (railfan65)
