I got called for the SLPSKO. It had 2 motors on the head end and 1 on the rear. On duty time was 5:20 am. It was a good way to start out a Saturday morning. It was a pretty good trip until we got to Troy. They held us there for nearly 3 hours. They told us tht we would be relieved at Dagget. We finally got the singal. We had the signal through Dagget. I asked the router if the game plan was stil the same. We had the signal all of the way to the Barstow signal and stopped there. I still cpuldn't get a hold of the router. Shortly a van came with our outobund. I tied up after being on duty for 10 hours adn 40 minutes. It was hot in Barstow! I got a burrito from Fuzzy's, wached some TV, and went to sleep. Boy, did I sleep! I slept about 11 hours adn got up for breakfast at 6 am. I got called shourtly after for the Q LACCHI. On fduty time was 8:15 am. While I was in the van on the ay ot the depot I saw my train at the steps. The Emulator and our IPADS weren't wortking because IT updates our system every SUnday morning. Our inbound came in the depot lookng for us.
I said, "We're not on duty until 8:15 am. We'll be up there."
Finaly, the emulator started to work and I got our GTB number. I would get the rest of the info from my IPAD when I got on my train. We departed shortly after gettin gon, and it was a good trip until we got to West Needls. They held us there for an hour. Our air conditioner started to give out. We finally got in. There was a Form B just outside of Needls that I had to call on. They wre replacing a bridge on Main 1! (On a hot Sunday). My day was 6 hours long,and it looks like I will go to work again at 3 am. It was 106 degrees in Needles when I got there.
I have attached a picture of our leader, the 7037.
