How did the Rio Grande handle helpers from Durango to Chama and vice versa? I know the freights needed help over Falfa hill as well as Monero Canon. Where did they turn or did they back out of Durango to help Westward trains up Falfa or from there to Durango after helping Eastward trains.

Chama to Antonito has been covered well but the operations over Sub-Division 12 is kind of a mystery.
