> What is the westbound grade from Herlong to Reno Junction? Was it enough for helpers in the steam or early diesel days? Also, is traffic on the old WP east of Keddie still limited to BNSF run-through and occasional unit trains? This is a section of line I would like to visit this spring.

I don't believe any of the WP from Oakland to Salt Lake City exceeded one percent gradient. Traffic levels are so low on the Keddie-Weso segment that I believe there is an exemption where UP doesn't have to install PTC.
