Helper, once a mecca for tunnel motors, is now quiet most days. This Saturday offers a bit of action, a break in the quietness. Crews work on constructing a new platform for Amtrak at the depot. Crews work to put a ballast train back together after cutting out mid-trains wing helpers which sit on the yard track next to Main 1. A BNSF manifest starts the climb up Soldier Summit, a pair of DPUs bringing up the tail end of the train on Main 1.
