Lately the extra Board has been turning fast! I marked up early Tuesday morning adn I got called 10 minutes later. I got called for the ALTLBE, a stack train going to Barstow. It was a small train and they ran us pretty good, but then when we got to Barstow we had to wait at the Barstow signal for two hours before there was a track for us. My engineer said that just tying the brakes on the 3 motors should hold it, so I went back and I tied the brake on the last motor and isolated it. It held. We got to the htoel in time for breakfast. In the evenng I got upand went across the street for a burrito. I expected to be called any minute, but I went back to bed and slept for a bout two hours. I got called for the "H BARKCK" at 9:30 pm. I wet to the depot and the yard crew was still putting it together. We waited over an hour and then went out to the Amtrak station to get on our train. We epared at 1:05 am.Our train had 217 cars! But most of them were empty and it only weighed 9700 tons. It was a good trip. We arrived n Needles ust after 7 am. I roled my train by and tied up. I enjoyed a good day at home, and then I moved up the line up and it ooked like I was gong to get called in the middle of the night. I got called for the "NEENNE." ON duty time was 1:39 am. We were to dog catch a Z train. But when I got to the depot the disptcher told me to call him back in 3 hours. That was unusual. He called my engineer 3 hours later and told us to dog catch the "S LBELPK ." We had our own van and got on at the last signal before I bis. It took us an hour to get to Needles. After that we were told to get an X train, the X HNCTI. It had 3 mtors on the head end and 115 empty hoppers. We got on at East Goffs and took it in. We arrived at 10:35 After that we were done. I tied upand I am now on my rest cycle. I have attached a picture of the 4668, the leader on the KCKBAR. I've been enjoying my 57 Chevy.
