The Byron Hill helper power chases the train it will assist, M342, approaching CP Valley
Title:  The Byron Hill helper power chases the train it will assist, M342, approaching CP Valley
Description:  I just missed a SB manifest (M342) whose head end reached the crossing as I pulled up. Then I saw 901's headlight hot on its heels! In the past, the helper power has already been tied on to the train out of Shops Yard, but it's been several years since I've observed helper operations around Fondy.

Description:  Despite CN's penchant for "land barge" distributed-power trains, there is still the occasional big southbound manifest with all the motors up front, that needs a boost up Byron Hill.
