<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>(Engineer's Yearly Certification Exam) Well Kurt I passed the test , got 4 wrong out of 100 , your allowed 15 wrong . I did better than last time and this time I did not study at all <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Most excellent Dave! Pretty boring until about 2030 hours tonight; thats when EVERYTHING started showing up...149,145,397,143,535,395; not including the east bounds. 1 more day, and then it's the weekend!
Ok thanks Kurt , just got ordered for #275 @ 0315 It's supposed to go at 2200 . I am taking digital camera to work with me , it will be light into my shift
Sorry folks for not posting in the last few days.....aside from working for Milepost 5 days a week, I also drive cab on Sundays, so I am pooped.I'm hoping to start saving for my digital camera (man those things are expensive) . But, I think my wife will break down and buy me one for my b-day(a month away ).
Blubomber , where you at ???? Computer down , working too much , I have not worked since Monday , I came in on #396 Monday night , tied up at 2am . Anyways I was 12 out when I tied up , now here it is late Friday night and I am 3 out now Call me part-time
Sorry Dave, have alot on my mind. Rumour mill is back up and running: I heard from 3 different people that Milepost loses its contract with CN Tuesday. Might have to go on unenjoyment. Oh well.....
That stinks I am working yard assignment #504 today , maybe I'll see you there . Go on duty today at 1300 . Don't let it get you down .
Whew......drove cab today, and STILL couldn't get away from the railroad: At 5am, I was at Top End, picking up the CP 535 crew and took them to the STL&H yard in London, Ontario. Then, about 1100, I went to the yard office, picked up 396 and took them to Battle Creek, Mi. What a day!!
Man Kurt , it's going to stink if Milepost does not continue business with CN , now you are going to have to get back ahold of CN and hopefully you can get hired . I like having you around
Well, it sounds like Milepost will be around until at least October so, I still have a job until then. I hope the union comes through......
Hey Dave, i didn't get a good look at your wheel. Did you and Glazar have alot to set out at Durand? You may even make it back tomorrow night before I go home. Later
our setout at Durand was rather small . When we got to Durand our train was 4800ft , when we left Durand we were 7600ft . Went on duty on 2230 and tied up at 0615 in Battle Creek . I am at the hotel right now , getting ready for some sleep Our power last night was pretty good . Had the CN 5652 in the lead , I love SD70's and the CN 53?? , I don't know but it was a 5300 Maybe we'll be in when your still there Kurt , we are rested for 1415 this afternoon . I'll post later when I got ordered .
Well Kurt , got up around 1500 still not ordered yet was rested at 1415 , working the railroad requires daytime sleeping Up all night sleep all day , then you get a day off and your body is still on the schedule .
Ugh!! Had the worst trip I have ever had working for the railroad Got shafted in everyway you possibly could . Kurt I talked to LINDA this morning in Port Huron and she said MILEPOST is not going anywhere . Can you confirm this ? She is the BOSS right ?
Yeah Dave, she is the boss. Keith Creel was in Port Huron today, and he never mentioned anything to Joe about it, either. Unfortunately, I have a wedding to attend that weekend, so I have to pass.
