After a golden 10 days off I went back to work. I got both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off. I got called for the Q ATLAC, which goes from Alliance, Texas, to Atlanta with an on duty time of 3:20 pm. We had 3 motors on the head end.Our train weighed 5,525 tons and was 9,839 feet ong. Due to our length we were limited to 55 MPH. We were following the SLABAR the whole way, and they had less power than we did. It was torture. Our trip was over 7 hours. We came into Main 4 and swapped with the outbound crew. After a good sleep I got called for the H BARLUB, wit an on duty time of 10:30 am. The yard crew was putting it together for us. It was extremely small and light for an H train. It was to have 87 cars, wight 4,760 tons, and was 5,409 feet long. When we got out to ouer train the yard crew told us that it was missing a car, so it was even lighter and shorter than that. We had 4 motors on the head end, but one of them was dead. Due to the fact that our train weighed less than 5500 tons the first 10 cars on our train did not have to weigh at least 45 tons, and they did not. That is extremely rare. We had to wait a while before we could get out of the yard, but once we got going it was a pretty good trip. Just over 6 hours. I was really surprised when I tied up. It said I would go out in the wee hours of the morning. So I went to bed. I got up at 4 am, had two cups of coffee, and got called for the S MEMLHA at 5:10 am. The train goes from Memphis to LA. We had 3 motors on the head end, weight 5,654 tons, and we were 8,147 feet long. It was an awful trip. 10 hours. They kept stopping us. We pulled into Main 2 and swapped with the outbound. I got to the hotel in tie to go across the street to Barstow Burger and aget a burrtio. I ate and went to bed. I slept like a log. I ws projected to go home on a deadhead, with an on duty time of 7:30 am. I was determiend to get my breakfast. I went down and started eating when they opened up at 6 am. I didn't get my call until 6:07 am. I was not called for a deadhead, I was called for a Q train, I finsihed my breakfast and grabbed my stuff. I got down to the depot, but we got swapped from the Q train to a stack train. We got on at the steps. We had a crew deadheading on our train. It was the S LBCLO, which goes from Long Beach to Clovis, New Mexico. We had 4 mtoors on the head end, but one of them was isolated. We had 78 cars, weighed 6,159 tons, and we were 7,127 feet. Today was a good trip to make up for the bad one we had yessterday. We departed at 8:12 am and had clears almost all of the way. They stopped us at West Needles for less than a half hour, then we pulled in at 12:42. Our trip was exactly 4 and a half hours. I rolled my train by and tied up. I want to take one more round trip and RISA out for New Year's Day. That may or may not happen. I'm projected for being out more than 24 hours, so I might reset. I have included a picture of our leader, the 7066.
