I got called to dogcatch the U JOEWAT, or the "rolling bomb." We had 95 tanker cars of HAZMAT: gasoline, alchohols, and ethanol. We had a loaded hopper on each end of the train to at as a buffer, and we had 3 motors on the head of our train and 2 on the rear. The rear most DP was dead. Our train was still in the yard, on Yard 2. The crew was still on it and they had been non duty for 6 hours. They had set out a bad order and were waiting for helpers. The train would not make it to Barstow without helpers. We relieved them. The helper crew came on duty about the same time as us. The helpers hooked on to the rear of our train. We had been on duty for over an hour when we departed. The dispatcher put us in the siding at Goffs for a while, and then the siding at Amboy. They seemed like they wre in no hurry to get us to Barstow. Our helpers broke off at Pisgah. When we did get to Barstow they told us to take the defective motor to Diesel Service. We called for a van to run us to the rear of our train. When we got there we found out that the motor would not run under it's own power. We called Diesel Service, and the router. The rourtr told us to leave it on the rear of the train. The outbound would add another DP on the rear and they would "tag it and drag it" as we say. We were also told that we were being flipped. We jumped into a van that had been called for another crew and shared it with them. We had never seen this driver before. He was weaving pretty badly. He blamed it on the wind. I'm projected to go out around 5 am tomorrow. I'm sure that I will go out much sooner than that.
