Ryan, if you ever feel the urge to run some BNSF-era equipment on your layout, it's still prototypical to have the occasional helper service to Cheney. Happens on a spot basis when a train stalls. The "helper" can be power cut off from another nearby train, or sent out light from Yardley. Just a couple weeks ago, an EB stalled at Empire which required another EB to shove him into town. But when there's some major MofW project on the High Line, they'll assign a true helper set for the duration to shove underpowered WBs from Empire to either Cheney or Babb. Last time I saw this it was a pair of H-1 SD40-2s.
