Remarks & Notes

In 1976 SP borrowed some BN Locotrol Masters and slave cars in an early effort to institute unmanned helpers. The only testing I saw was on Beaumont Hill. Evidently it didn't work out. No complaints from the railman community. Here an EB is preparing to leave at Pepper St.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
