I got called at 4:10 am for a Q train going to San Bernadino. A long pool. I swung by Jack in the Box and got someting to eat. I had worked with the engineer before and I told him, "I stillhaven't yarded a train in the San Bernadino Yard. It turned out to be a moot uestion because we were dog caught at Dagget after being on duty for 6 hours. Wy? We didn't know. Maybe the dispatcher anticipated some trouble for us. When we got to San Bernadino the engineer was nice enough to give me a tour of the San Bernadino Yard in the van. I know it a ittle beter now. After tht he was also nice enoght to give me a ride to the hotel. I checked in and went across the street to get a burrito and a drink at a place called the "Rio Mexican Grill." It cost $20! Good old Calfornia prices.
I slept like a log and got called at 3 am for the Z SBDALT. ON duty time was 5 am The same engineer gave me a ride to the depot. On the way I got a breakfast burrito. We had to wait a while before our train was ready to go. One of the good things about San Bernadino is that they build your train for you and the trainmaster give you your paperwork.
Our train was at 14th Street. The van ran us out there and we releived the yard crew. It was a good trip. About 10 hours. I had to call on two form Bs. When I rolled my train by I reported that there were 4 containers open. Nothing was falling out and the doors weren't fouling the track. I tied up and I'm not shoiwng out until tomorrow afternoon. I hope that is the case. I need some time to run some errands. I have attached a picure of our leader, the 8578.
