I was supposed to be on my rest cycle, but I found out the hard way that the railroad came up with a new policy. We have to schedule our days off in advance now. Supposedly we were "informed" about this. I don't remember being informed, and neither does anyone else. Monday night I was tired, and it looked like I was going to be called until Tuesday morning, and I said to myself, "I don't want to go to work tonight" when my phone rang. I was called to be the brakeman on the Kingman Switcher! On duty time was 2131, Mountain Time. We got a short call. Luckily the conductor was familiar with the job. We had to finish up work that the day crew did not finish. A trainmaster told us, via cell phone, what we had to do. A van took us to Berry. We had to shove our train onto the Main Track, cut the power off, take the power into the industry, hook onto some cars, shove them back to our train, and then set out 8 cars that were originally on our train back on the industry track. When this was all done we had to "run around our train with the power" and put it on the opposite end of our train. Then we had to hang the ETD, do a locomotive air brake test, and the Class I Air Brake Test. I was lucky the conductor did most of the work instead of telling me to do it. A road crew was supposed to be on duty to take the train to Winslow at 2:30 am. We were done by then. They hadn't shown up yet. So we tied the train down and went back to Needles in the van. I was exhausted! I couldn't sleep in the van because it was a very uncomfortable ride. I claimed 140 miles and 52 cars when I tied up. I got in bed around 6 am and slept for 6 hours. I'm not showing out during the next 24 hours. That's good. I can use a good night's sleep.
