I got called for the H BARTUL to Winslow. On duty time was 2:31 am. It was a routine trip. They gave us a high wind warning and then cancelled it when we were about an hour out. That meant that instead of going 30 MPH we could go 55. Origninally our work order didn't say that we had to set out a motor- but when we got to Winslow they told us to set out our 4th motor. (We thought that was why they lifted the High Wind Warning). The outbound helped us with the set out and it went very quickly. It was hot in Winslow! I got to the hotel and it was too late for breakfast and too early to get anything from the grill- so I bought a frozen dinner. I slept for about 4 hours, went down to the grill, and the girl down there knew what I was going to order because I always order the same thing. I went back to bed after eating and slept like a log. I got my call at 4:30 am. It was too early for breakfast at the hotel. I asked the van driver to go through the drive through at McDonald's I asked for two hamburgers but they were only serving breakfast. I said, "No thanks" and had a nutrition bar instead.
Our trian was the Z ALTSTO- the same train I had the last time I left Winslow. It was a small, light train with 3 motors on the head end. Our trip was 9 hours.
I have attached picture of the 7082, our leader on the ALTSTO.
