I was called for a big stack train, on duty time was 9:40 pm. We got swapped to the Z LACMEM, a nice small Z train. There was a stack train ahead of us and we followed that all of the way. Our trip was about 9 hours. I rolled my train by and made it to the hotel in time for breakfast. I slept until arout 4 pm, went down to the grill for my usual, and went back to bed. I got called at midnight thirty Mountain time. I was xcalled for the Q LPKLAC, which goes from Logistic Park, Kansas to Los Angeles. On the way I had the van driver go through the drive through at McDonald's. He was a little screwy. I told him to order me two hamberugers and he asked, "Do you want cheese on them?" Our train had no set outs. We had to wait over an hour before our train came in and we got on it. We saw some deer and elk by the tracks outside of Flagstaff. It was hot when we got to Needles in the afternoon! Over 100 degrees. I rolled my train by and tied up. I went on my rest cycle as soon as I tied up, and I only requested one day off. I will mark up this afternoon but hopefully not go out until tomorrow. Cameras and Recordinng Devices Each of our engines has a camera pointing out the front windshield. Usually they rattle. If you put a water bottle betwen the camera mount and the glass it usually quiets it down. We als have a camera in the roof of the cab, on most engines. It tapes us while we are working. If there is a derailment and the tape shows somebody on their cell phone, they are in trouble. In fact, people often get into trouble for using their cell phones when they are not supposed to. There is a purple box in the nose of the cab that is an "event recorder." It's like the black box on an airplane. It records everthing the engineer does. When we went forward, when he went backward, how wfast he was going, how much air he appied to teh brakes at a certain time. In the event of an accident, if will be reviewed. Everything that we say on the radio is also recorded. So if there is an incident the railroad has lots of informtaion to work with to conduct an investigation. That's why if you work for the railroad, don't break the rules and do what you're supposed to! I have included a picture of the 7932, our leader on the LACMEM.
