Re:RE: (erielack) Pushers on Train Number 3 at Denville on a

Wasn't/isn't it the normal practice to avoid pushers on passenger trains out of respect for the consequences if something happened at the front end?

If so, what were the circumstances that allowed it in this case?  Was it to get up the hill to Summit in bad weather?  How far would the pushers go?  If they came off at Dover, would more be needed out of Stroudsburg?  Or Scranton?

Did DL&W regularly push passenger trains out of Scranto, in either direction?

Inquring minds . . .

Yes, you can see the boxy protrusion on the roof that are the very distinctive FT dynamic brake cooling resistors (no other F-unit had them like this)
