This is what happens when 12 axles worth of GP40s try to take too much train around the Horseshoe Curve unassisted. The leader, 3005, is a GP40 while 3311 and 3388 Are GP40-2s
When TV3M got to Altoona the dispatcher notified him that he had no helper available. The dispatcher told him to go as far as he could and by that time a returning helper set would be available to be cross over behind him and shove him to Gallitzin.
While the crew of TV3M sits and waits for helpers to rescue them, another pig train shows them the right way to get the job done as they sail past them on the adjacent track with two former Erie Lackawanna SD45-2s as point helpers.
Finally our forlorn TV3M gets her helpers and proceeds up the mountain to Gallitzin and beyond.
That's my dad about 100 feet away at the other tripod.
Pop has since gone on to where the T1s, K4s, Hudsons and Niagaras still race each other out of Englewood Union Station.
