I got called for stack train, a big one. On duty time was 3:25 am. It was a big train,w ith 3 motors on the head end and 3 in the middle. After we were stopped for a while my engineer noticed that one n the DPS, the one that we were linked to, had died. I calculated our horspower per ton as 1.8. We could still get to Barstow. As we got closer to Barstow someone told us that our second motor had flames coing out of the stack. There was a lot of smoke conig out of it. . We stopped and my engineeer turned it off. Now our HPT was down to about 1.6. The rapid repsonder met us at Dagget and took my engineer back to the DPs. They got the motor started up again. It had stalled. We went into Barstow and they orjiginally told us. "crew swap on Main 4." Then they told us to tie it down. Our outbund was on duty but I don't know what happened to them. I had to tie 5 brakes. It was about 9 am. I went to the building that I had to go to in order to get my air pressure gauge calibrated. (It's supposed to be done once a year). The fellow did it and he put a sticker with an expiration date on it. The van driver was nice enough to wait for me. After I got to the hotel I got something to eat at Fuzzy's. I slept like a log. I got called for another stack train. On duty time was 4:30 am. It took a while for our train to come in. We got on at the steps. I tied up at 2:15 am and slept pretty good. I got called for the Z WSPLAC. On duty time was 4 am. It was a great trip! Less than 4 hours. By tht time we got to the hotel they had stopped serving breakfast. I went to Fuzzy's to get a burrito. I had expected that we would go out around midnight. But since we had run around several people during our trip we had to wait for them to mark up and get called. I kept looking at my cell phone and my prorjected time kept getting pushed back. I woke up 5:50 am and went down to breakfast. I got my call when I was eating. I was called for a stack train. On duty time was 7:35 am. I finished my breakfast and got ready. On the way to the depot the van driver was telling my engineer and I that there had been an accident on Main Street in Barstow the other day. Some fool was going 90 MPH on Main Street and he hit another car. He and the other driver were killed. We got on at the steps. It wasa a big train. We had 3 motors on the head end and 2 in the middle. When we got to Barstow they told us to pull down to the east end and security would close some doors. We had to wait for our outbound to come and releive us. It was a 9 hour day. I am now on a 2 day RISA and I have started a 3 day rest cycle. I have attached a picture of the 8266.
