I got called for the "VBIRBAR," a vehicle train that goes from Birmingham, Alabama to Barstow. But it should have been labeled an H train- we had manifest cars at the head of the train and at the rear. I wondered how we were going to yard this in Barstow. I hoped that we would just take it to the Receiving Yard and take the power to the house, but usually with this train we have to take it to the storage yard and do some switching. It turned out to not be so bad. They told us to take it into storage 5, leave half of our cars there, and take the rest of the train to the Receving Yard. They sent a van out for us. I had to line both the west swtich and the east swtich for storage 5. Once our train had cleared the east end of the track I tied 3 brakes at the east end and made the cut. We followed my train into the Receiving Yard. They told us to leave it at the east end of the Receiving Track. Once the rear of my train had cleared I told my engineer to stop. The van ran me to the head end of my train. I tied 3 brakes and cut my power away. (We had 3 motors on the head end). We took it to the house. I had to thow 2 switches to line us in. We were done. When I got to the hotel I went to Fuzzy's and got a burrito. I was projected for 4 am. I wondered if I was going to be able to sleep until I got my call. I slept about 10 or 11 hours. I got called for the BARLUB. On duty time was 6:45 am. On the way to the depot I had the van stop at Lola's. I got a burrito. The yard crew was building our train. It was 3, 1, and 1. We had to wait a while. The van ran us to the head of our train when it was ready. Our work order said that we had to pick up a car at Nebo-right behind the Marine Base. It was a loaded tanker car and it contained hazmat. We decided to put it after the first 10 cars on our train. I got off and had my engineer pull ahead. I tied 9 brakes and we did a release test. The train moved slightly. I tied two more brakes and that did the trick. I closed the anglecock and made the cut. I had my engineer pull over the swich. I lined the swtich into the siding and dropped the derail. I shoved my engineer back to a hook. I laced the hoses and cut the air in. The anglecock on the rear of the card was open. I closed it and released the brake on the car. I put my air pressure gauge in the hose and opened the anglcock. It read 82 or 83 pounds. Within tolerance. I told my engineer to give me a set. The piston did not come out. We waited a few miutes for the air to charge. On the second try the piston came out. We also did the release. It was a good Class 1. I told my engineer to take it ahead over the swtich. I lined the switch back to the main and restored the derail. I shoved my engineer back to a hook. About this time the rapid respnder showed up in his truck . He had been helping another train and came by. He offered to run me to the head of my train when we were done. He slso told me that the car we picked up had been sitting there about 2 weeks. I released the 11 brakes and the rapid responder ran me to the head end of my train. The rest of the trip went well. They only stopped us a couple of times. I had been on duty for 10 and a half hours when we got to Needles so I was on overtime. I rolled my train by. It was supper time and they were having a barbecue at the depot. I was hungry so I got something to eat. I'm supposed to go out this afternoon. I have attached a pciture of our leader, the 5233.
