I wonder what routing RW-4 was taking that it needed helpers. Thru Kenwood and out the Albany main?

Ed,

I think they just had the extra engines in Colonie and they met up with RW4 before they got to the first hill at Howes Cave. Dad was on the Mohawk extra board so they had to pay a "deadhead" rate to get him to the engines and back.
