I got called for a Z train at 10:55 pm the night of July 4th. I got no sleep. When I got down to the depot I discovered we had been swapped to "the Northbay," the hottest train there is. Still, our trip was 9 hours. I got to the hotel too late for breakfast,, but the employee was nice enough to give me some eggs, potatoes, and sausage. That was nice of her. I slept about 4 hours, watched some TV, and went down to tthe grill for supper. I went back to bed and slept until 5:30 am when I got my call. I got dressed and went down for breakfast. I had been called for a grain train, but I got swapped to the Z ALTSTo. The trip home was 9 hours. I have attached a picture of the 6996, our leader on the Northbay.
