I was called to be deadheaded to Barstow yesterrday morning. On duty time was 9 am. Two crews were deadheaded to Barstow in a van. When we got there I asked the trainmaster if they had any trains for us (we were hoping they would "flip" us back on a train) but no such luck. We went to the hotel. Since we had run around a bunch of crews, we thought we would be there for a while, But I was projected to g out around midnight. I got a burrito from across the street and watched TV. I didn't think I would be able to sleep, but I did. I slept pretty good, and got called for a stack train. On duty time was 3:15 am Pacific Time. It was cold in Barstow at 3 am! Our train came in before we were on duty. The inbound waited for us at the steps. It was a big train- with 4 motors at the head end and 3 in the middle. Our HPT was 2.0, and they stopped us a couple of times. Just the same we got to West Needels by 9:37. It would have been a good trip. but they held us out there for a couple of hours. For some reason, they had not called an outbound for us. They finally told us to pull up to East Needles and tie our train down. They also saaid that security had about 40 containers on our train to close. I tied 3 brakes and it held. Security gave me a ride to the head end of my train. I'm projected to go out tomorrow morning around 8 am. No pictures.
