Helper is not quite as much a hub of activity as it was 20 years ago. With manned helpers replaced by DPUs, and the disappearance of coal, it is a bit more quiet. But not totally inactive. An eastbound Herzog ballast train removes some mid-train swing helpers, leaving them in the yard. Meanwhile, power from a westbound oil empty that arrived the day before sits waiting for its next assignment in the yard.
