I got called for the Z LACMEM, which goes form Los Angeles to Memphis. On duty time was 11:20 am, Mountainn Time. The disptacher asked us to go get on our train at West Needles because the inbound crew was on the verge of going DOL. We were happy to do that. It's an RO good for a basic day. It was a god train, but htey didn't run us like a Z train. Our work order said that we had to set out our 4th motor when we got to Winslow. When we got to WInslow it was night. The oubound helped us set out the motor. It went very smooth. We Our day was over 11 hours, so I got some overtime. The grill was still open at the hotel when I got ther eand they gave me my usual- a burger with potato chips and a ginger ale. I got some sleep. got up for the free breakfast at 6, ten went back to bed. I got called for the Q LPKLAC on the way home. On duty time was 1530 Mountain Time. Our train was already at Hibbard when I got the call. It was in WInslow before we were on duty. The inbound conductor baby sat it until we were on duty. It was aq very light train because all of the containers wer eempty. We only had two motors on the head end. It was a good trip home. About 9 hours. The sun was in our eyes for a good part of the trip. But, we made it in safely and I rolled my train by. I'm supposed to go out around midnight, tonight. I have attached a picture of the 8389, our leader on the Q LPKLAC.
