I got called for the "Q SBDCHI," which goes from San Bernadino to Chicago. On duty time was ten minutes after noon, Mountain Time. We were followoing another train and we couldn't move very fast. It was almost a 12 hour trip. I didn't have time to roll my train by. I was surprised that the grill in the hotel was open. I had something to eat. I got up at 6 am and had breakfast. Boy, did I sleep! I got up around 2 pm. I forgot about the time change. )Arizona does not observe Daylight Savings Time, but the railroad does). I finally got called for the "Z ATGSBD." On duty time was 6 pm, Mountain Time. There was a probelm Our train only had tow motors on the head eand. It did not have enough power to make it to Needles, and then San Bernadino. Our work order said that we had to add a motor. But another train was doing work in the yard and was blocking our train from coming in. The inbound would have to help us with the pickup- but they were running out of time. We notified the trainmaster and he asked a dog catch crew to replace the inbound when they came in. They helped us. My engineer and I got on the motor, in "roundhouse 3," and I threw the switches. I had to throw two siwtches to get us out of there, then I dropped the derail and threw the switch to the main. The dog catch crew made the separation and took our two motors ahead. My engineer made the hook then saved tme by lacing the hoses himself instead of waiting for me to do it. I guided him back to make a hook with our train We took over at that point. We did the "locomotive air brake test." I laced the hoses between the last motor and the first car, and cut the air in. After being on duty for over two and a half hours we finally departed. We followed an H train for most of the trip. They finally ran us around it at Berry. Our trip was over 10 and a half hours. I rolled my train by. I'm taking a rest day tomorrow. I have included a picture of our leader, the 7026.
