Not much hangs out in the yard at Helper these days. One thing that does seem to be in storage here is a long string of refrigerated box cars. They are in the upper yard at Helper. You can see there is a small slope up to those yard tracks.

Earlier in the day, it was determined that UP 8377 has some PTC issues. It was removed from the rest of the units used in the helper set, which are on the track to the left.

UP does not have too many Tier-4 locomotives on the roster. And of the ones they do have, even fewer are EMD's SD70ACe-T4. The units are mechanically complex and expensive to maintain. UP 3069 is an example of one such unit. Not the long hood that does not have the slants that of a normal SD70ACe. Additionally, there are three radiator fans instead of two.

It is a quiet evening in the yard at Helper. There are no trains set to come through here in the little bit of daylight that remains. Two helper sets sit, waiting for their next assignment.
