Well, there's the story (and it may be just that) of a DSP&P circus train stalling on Boreas Pass and winding up using elephants as "helpers" to get up the hill. Both Beebe and Clegg and Gilbert Lathrop mention this story in their respective books, so one might consider it to be a bit suspect. -- Ed
