The helper ran east toward Christiansburg, and would be a Y class engine.

In the Volume 34, No 1 (Jan-Feb-Mar 2018) issue of The Arrow are a couple nice features on the Walton Tower (BH) area which makes mention of a helper siding, but no supporting information.Where was the helper siding located?Can someone provide a track layout sketch of the BH tower area?Of the three routes around the tower (Radford, Bluefield, Christiansburg) which were serviced by the pushers?What class of steam power was usually situated there?In what direction was the helper employed?Was it used only for coal trains or did it include merchandise freights too?
