I got called to go to Winslow on the Z STOWSP again. Once again we were limited to 55 MPH. On duty time was 3:46 in the afternoon. After we departed the dispatcher came on the radio and said, "I'm shoiwng that you are limited to 55 MPH, is that correct?" "We're over 90 TOB and we have some reefer cars, I responded." I called out the approach signals over the radio during the trip. They kept us behind an H train all night. We had more power than they did, but they kept slowing us down. We got to Winslow around 1 am. I went to the hotel, got up for the free breakfast at 6 :30, and went back to bed. I slept like a log until around 2 pm. It looked like I was going to be called in an hour, so I went downstairs to get something to eat. The restaurant wasn't open, but they made me a urkey sandwich anyway. I had no sooner got back to my room when I got my call. I was called for the "Q MEMSTO." On duty time was 4:50 pm. Our train was a small light train with only 2 motors on the head end. We had to ait a while berfore we departed, and it was an uneventful trip. We got in arund 2 am and I rolled my train by. I took a SMART Rest. I mark up at 1:22 am, but my rest cycle starts at 7 am tomorrow morning. They are supposed to "red line" me and not call me for anything except a dog catch because I am not supposed to leave my home terminal within 24 hours of my rest cycle. I may or may not get called after I mark up in the morning. I have attached a picture of our leader, the 4724. In other news, earlier today I approved the graphics for my new CD and I gave Discmakers permission to run 500 copies. I should have copies of my new CD, "Whither Thou Goest," available in 2 to 3 weeks.
