Great photo, but I was referring to a multipage description of the actions taken by the engine crews.  It included two or more locomotives coupled together; and lead engine and rear pusher.  If Pete is still with us, maybe he can re-post.  Sorry I did not get his complete name.  If not, and if the group has no objections, I can try to get in on the list as an attachment.

Hi Pat,

Not sure if this was the one, but there is a somewhat well snowy 1953 Richard Steinheimer shot of an eastbound about to top the hill at Parkman, WY. His notes mention the 4-8-2 helper #7002 was added at Wyola, MT.

In October 2009, an excellent piece on double-heading steam locomotives was posted to this site by someone named Pete.  I copied  it and saved it to my files.  If there is a past file kept at the web site, maybe it can be re-posted.
