I got called at 4 am for a stack train. On duty time was 6 am. It seems like lately I keep getting called around 4 am. I had been projected to go out much later so I was disappointed because I as not going to be able to run some errands that I wanted to run. I swung by Jack in the Box on the way to work. Our train had 114 crs, weighed over 5400 tons, and was over 10,000 feet long. It had 3 motors on the head end, so we were limited to 55 MPH. It came in at 6:30 and we departed at 6:39. They gave us the signal right off the bat. At first it looked like it was going to be a great trip. They kept giving us clear signals. Then they stopped us at Ludlow for 3 hours! (Boy, did I catch up on my reading). We stopped at Dagget with less than 2 hours to work. Our outbound came out to relieve us there. The van took us straight to the hotel. I checked in and went across the street for a burrito. I watched some TV and went to bed. I had a couple of dreams. One of them was that I was working at SAIC again. I got called for a deadhead at 5:30 am. I looked in my cell phone and it didn't say if I was gonig on a train or in a van. I wasn't lined up with an engineer either. That was strange. I got ready to go, had some breakfast when I got downstairs and got in the van. I found out I was deadheading back to Needles in a van. We had to wait two hours for it. I went back with 3 other guys. I requested a SMART rest when I tied up and I got it. I can't go out until late tomorrow morning. I ran a couple of errands when I got home. At least I won't have to worry about getting called at 4 am. I can look forward to a good night's sleep.
