That's right Kevin. The majority of the runs were with a rear pusher back by the caboose, but as Earl noted the mid-train helpers were used prior to the steel frame cars in the mid-50's.
In 1993 we did a couple of photo specials utilizing this mid-train helper arrangement. 5 car lengths was mandatory due to the length of one bridge span of Lobato Trestle, since no two locos could be on it at the same time. Let me qualify that...No two K36, and K37's or combinations of them. However locomotive and Rotary Snowplows did cross together obviously.
