So, Who Worked on Memorial Day?
Author: fredkharrison

Well, the firemen in Dorris, CA, had their boots out on Hwy. 97, collecting donations for muscular dystrophy. And the signalmen were installing upgrades to the Cascade Line just north of Macdoel, CA. It was a nasty day to be out there too!

Here was a MOW gang working at Onaga, KS on the UP's Kansas Sub when we came through yesterday. They were changing out concrete ties on the switch to the house track.

You'd think UP would consider using the bigger backing plates on these hooded things, like NS does. Easier to see then.

The BNSF Gateway Sub hosted 5 daylight trains on Memorial Day, and Saturday and Sunday as well.

Yes, the Gateway had some business going on yesterday. Someone must have been at work here in the K-Falls yard, even if you cannot make out who it is.

I took the B-OIGSEA5-26A Klamath Falls to Bend. Went to work at 3am and tied up at 11am. Spent the rest of the day loafing around the hotel, weather was crappy there too. Oh well.

We were supposed to have a big PTC signal window at Argentine to cut in the new signals at 18th Street, AY tower, and 12th Street, but due to weather (lots of lightening and heavy rain) it was postponed.

You wouldn't have a caboose number for the BN unit by chance?

Vacation, and I'm not really sure how I scored a holiday week with my seniority.
