Return to normal
A week on the road and I am home. The Excursion to Grand Canyon left LA on Monday the 14th of May at 9 am. I signed on at 5 am and lit off the engine. I spot fired until we moved the train to LAUS. I fired over there and spot fired once we arrived until relieved by BK, the regular fireman.
I had an opportunity to ride the cab from San Bernardino to Barstow over Cajon Pass. This is a very very rare treat. For the rest of the trip I assisted in the engine service. I was unhappy about the leadership of DE, as, I believe, he has leadership problems.
I got to fire the locomotive over the road for about 15 miles in Arizona. Apparently I did ok.
On the social side it was fun RL and EC are real nice people.
Now we get to solve a nasty problem with leadership.
