One of dispatcher Len Thompson's favorite tricks to get pushers down the mountain is to cut them in behind the power of other trains. Here pusher set 8608 is cut in behind the four untis of train X8602E at Farron summit to get them to Castlegar to help train 89 up the hill. Photo by Rene Gourley, the engineer of X8602 using a "1977" photo setting on his smart phoen camera.
