You are correct drgwk37, 420 became RGS 42. Those little 45.5 Class 4-6-0's (T-12's) could fly on the easy grades between Cimarron and Sargents, then they needed a helper for Marshall. Same thing with the San Juan Extension just picking up a helper for Cumbres and maybe Falfa. When the 125 Class (K-27's) were used as helpers on either pass they would be cut in behind the road engine. On the point it has been said that they tended to pull the Ten-Wheelers off the rails.
