I got called for the "H KCKBAR." On duty time was 10 am. It was a big train. We had 3 motors on the head end, 3 in the middle, and two on the rear. Our train weighed over 21,000 tons and was over 10,000 feet long. This may have been the heaviest train I've ever had. We got as far as Danby when the detector desk said that we had a hot bearing. We had to stop and I had to inspect it with my heat sensor gun. It was only the 5th car back. The bearing was 158 degrees farenheit. I checked the 12 bearings ahead of it and the 12 behind it and they were all cooler. The detector desk said that we had to set the car out. Cadiz was the nearest place. It was on a hill. Since our train was so heavy I would have had to tie 47 brakes. It was in the 90s. Fortuately there were some baretables in the siding at Cadiz. They told us to set out the car at Amboy. They said we could proceed at 30 MPH, and 5 MPH over bridges. Since our train was so long, and sic\nce there are a lot of bridges between Danby and Amboy- we went 5 MPH the whole way. It took us 4 hours to travel the 20 miles to Amboy The sun was down. They took us into the siding. (At Amboy the spur is off of the siding). I tied 5 brakes and it held. (The ground is flat there). I made the cut. My engineer said he thought he could pull the cut past the switch without going through the signal. He was right. I threw the swtich and dropped the derail. There is enough rooom in that spur for maybe two cars. I rode the car in. A "Savage" security officer was watching us. I tied the handbrake and we did the "squeal test" (we pushed the car to make sure the brakes squealed). I made the cut and my engineer pulled the cars ahead. I restored the derail and threw the switch back. I rode the cut back to within a car length form our train, got off, and brought my engineer back to a hook. I had to lace the hoses in the dark. I got them on the first try. My engineer did the "Class III" while the brakes were still tied, then I relased the 5 handbrakes. The security officer gave me a ride to the head end of the train. He told me that he was the borhter of one of our engineers. He gave my engineer a ride back to the DPs because the cards needed to be signed. We had been told that we would be relieved at Amboy. A van showed up with our relief crew. We had maybe an hour left. The van took us to Barstow. We went thoguht the drive through at Jack in the Box My engineer and I were hungy, and I was thirsty. I got into bed in the hotel around 1 am. I got up for the free breakfast at 6 and went back to bed. I got my call at 11:30 am. I was deadheaded back to Needles in a van with two other men. I'm projected to go to work around noon tomorrow. No pictures.
