I got called for the SLUBSCO, which goes from Lubbock, Texas to Long Beach. On duty time was 1:15 pm. Our train came in shortly after we were on duty. It was a pretty good trip. They kept us moving. We had 2 motors on the head end and 3 in the middle. We had 168 cars and weighed over 13,000 tons. They stopped us at East Barstow and told us that we would be relieved there, and that we were being flipped. The rapid respnder came out to sign the cards on our locomotives before midnight, and the van came out with our outbound. When we got to the depot we were told htat we would be sharing a van with another crew, and the other crew wasn't there yet. We aited 2 hours for their train to come in. Finally they showed up. Our van was already there. I got into the back and slept most of the trip. I tied up around 2 am. I got to bed around 4 am and woke up at 9 am and did some running around. I am now on RISA, and my rest cycle starts tomorrow. I am off until Thursday morning unless I mark up early.
