RE: [CBQ] Helpers

[HOL WAGNER <holpennywagner@msn.com>]

There were a good many such places on both Lines East and Lines West.  An 
example of the former was on the Beardstown Division, north out of the Illinois 
River valley up Browning Hill  T-1 2-6-6-2s were used until replaced by the T-3 
2-8-8-2.  On Lines West, the L-1 
0-10-0s were purchased for pusher service on Crawford Hill in northwestern 
Nebraska, up the grades out of Edgemont, South Dakota, and on the Cambria coal 
spur out of Newcastle, Wyoming.  There was also a helper grade eastbound out of 
Sheridan, Wyoming.  And there were a good many more.

Considering the territory the Q operated in. Was there a place on the system 
that required helpers regularly because of the grade? I don't think I've seen 
or read anything about this.
