Weekend....gee, that sounds familiar.

No more work train for me, but boy was it good while it lasted.
I had the caboose all to myself, and while the one day the heater didn't work was the one day it was fucking freezing, it was pretty damn awesome otherwise. We ended up shoving all the way out to Gap, which was a little nervewracking. It's one thing to head out with two people always keeping an eye on things, and the hoghead able to react to what he sees, not just what the conductor tells him. It's another thing entirely to have one person on the point, having to keep a very close eye on sixty miles of track. I'll say this much, though - it did wonders for my confidence.
After the work crew finished yesterday, the hoghead and I put the train away in Gap, then brought the caboose and light engines back to Calgary, which was a very fast trip. (Holy track speed, Batman!)
All told, it was a great week, I got to sleep in today, and I have the weekend off.
This means (finally!) gaming time, possible ficcage, because I have the plot bunnies, and general R&R. Yay!
