I was hoping that I wouldn't get called before I went on my rest cycle Monday morning at 7 am, but I got called at 3 am for a work train. The van ran us out to Truxton. (That was a long van ride). I had to drop the derail and thow the switch. Once my train was out of the siding I had to shove it back about 3 miles At the rear of the train they had a machine that can travel on both train wheels and regular tires. It looks like a big truck. I rode in the cab with the foreman of the work crew and we shoved back about 3 miles. I had to protect the shove. Once that was done I walked back to the front of the train. We pulled forward at 3 MPH, dropping rail. Later on we had to shove a couple more times. Most of the time we were puling ahead at 3 MPH. When the day was finally over we had to shove in the siding at Peach Springs. The work crew unoaded that machine fromt the rear of the train and drove it away. It was a long, boring day. It was so long that our van driver had to be releived. We swapped vans at the Maverick in Kingman. While I was there I got a chicken and rice burrito. It was deliecious! Finally we were back in Needles. I'm on my rest cycle and enjoying it.
