Milwaukee Road engines 2057, 3006, and 3005 lead a southbound train through Black River at 11:50AM on February 3, 1973. Behind the autoracks you can just barely see the radio controlled helper engines. After the autoracks are set out at West Siding, the headend power will be right next to the helpers. The reason that there are so few cars between the headend power and the helpers is that the lead units have just set out about 40 cars for Seattle at the small yard along the Black River to the right of the picture.
