Re: Cajon Pass grade vs Horseshoe Curve grade

Please correct me if I'm wrong. It appears they use manned helper engines on the Horseshoe Curve. In the few hours that I watched live webcam, I saw at least 5 sets of light engine pairs going either direction.
Cajon Pass. Even though I've never railfanned there, I've been up and down it dozens of times, I've never seen a set of helpers. Are helpers used with any regularity on the Pass?
