I got called to dog catch the S LBTALT, a big stack train going to Winslow. We dog caught it at Peach Springs, but it was still a long trip. We were on duty for over 10 hours when we got to Winslow. The van driver had told me about a Mexican place called "Mi Pueblos." I asked if he would take me by there and he did. I had a chicken and rice burrito. To be honest I was a little disappointed. I would give it a B, but not an A. I slept for a while, got up and went to the grill on the first floor at 7 apm had a burger, and went back to bed I got up at 6 for the free breakfast, and saw that I was going to be called at 7 am so I got dressed and was ready to go when I got my call. I was called for the Z WSPSBD. It was shaping up to be a good day. I got down to the depot and I found out I had been swapped to the H AMSBAR. That wasn't so good. We weren't on duty until 10 am, and the inbound died at 10 am. They tied it down. We had a student engineer. At 10 am we went out to our train. It had 8 motors on the head end (half of them were dead). All of them were tied. They also tied 7 cars. It was overkill! It was a 110 hour day. I was tired when I got home, and slept like a log. I have attached a picture of our leader, the 8231. I'm not projected to go out today.
