GN F-5 No. 1102 assists P-2 No. 2513 on the east slopes of the Cascades. The date is probably early 1924, as the P-2 was completed in October 1923, and the P-2 tender carried the Great Northern lettering, but no GOAT. Additionally, engines 2512 to 2517 were reportedly fitted with boosters and air operated smoke deflectors in 1924, on assignment to the Cascades. This type of helper service was typical of operations in the Cascades. The train is believed to be the Oriental with old consist cars in view, however it could be the Glacier Park Limited.
