I got a call bright and early at 5:06 am on Saturday. I was called for a dog catch. I was supposed to dog catch a train that was having problems. By the time we got to the depot the train had been fixed and it looked like it was going to make it in. The dispatcher told my engineer and I to go to Seligman in the van and shadow the B HUDSC. We did. Then they told us to go to Griffith and shadow the Q CHISTO. We did. Then they told us to go East Griffith again and shadow the H BELBAR. We did. By this time 8 hours had gone by. I claimed 540 miles and I didn't get on a train all day.
