Nelson,

There are some photos on page 112 & 113 in Michael Spoor’s “Chicago Burlington 
& Quincy in Color" Vol. 1 that were taken in the early 1950s showing a 4-8-4 
and a 2-8-2 doubleheader climbing West Burlington hill. So, doubleheading 
lasted until at least that time frame. I have read that the helpers were 
sometimes freshly shopped locomotives being broken in.
