Is it just dynos on this hill or do hoggers set a minimum train-line application as a supplement?

Depends on how your train is/handles, there are some grades out of North Bay where engineers get a good feel for how their train will hold with dynamics only. If you have a decent train with a couple of good units, DB early enough is sometimes all you need.
