Here is what Earl says about that (in a 2005 thread):

Quote
Earl on NGDF regarding Lobato Trestle
Timetables through the 1950's show it was permissible to doublehead using a 470. In the the 1960's all doubleheading was banned. Further instructions stated that the engines had to be seperated by 100' of empty or lightly loaded equipment, which would keep the engines from being on the same span at the same time.
