What was the typical power on Chessie trains to Rochester for coal? Did they use helpers for Warsaw hill? What is the ruling grade for the line? Thanks.

Looking at old photos, I noticed the F's got assigned often, as someone else told me, "When they were ready to retire the cab units, they assigned them to the Rochester coal drags, and sent them there to die."
