Fresno Neal Bedstead in Tales of the Jointed Track

I worked with Neal, when I did a “stint” in crew planning. Neal ran the Fresno to Bakersfield pool. This is a primo pool . Get called to Bakersfield, tie up and jump on a train back. HORROR … You’d have to dead head, and spend 4 hrs at the hotel.. LOL These guys are spoiled.

Power Desk Ft Worth, TX:

Neal is now a trainmaster, Hello

“NOC Power Bob” ” Neal Bedstead Calling” “yes sir?” “I sent 3 units numbers XXX and they came back, with the same defects”. Save me Jesus… “Neal ? Did your engineers report the problems?’‘ “I don’t know” really, make ‘em report instead of complain.

“Neal… This is how this works.. Do you go to a car repair place? Place your keys and say repair? What did they find ? and it came back , nothing found?.. What are they repairing or troubleshooting?” AH the DUH I don’t know factor. Your engineers need to file a work report, so BARSTOW, knows this isnt a fuel and sand and send back report. It sank in slowly, SAVE ME…

There was another Terminal TM who was just as worthless.. I need QFRSCHI power. Serious.
Where is the grain train power? Really ya don’t know is it there? “Yes” “Use that”. Power was hung out at another station Guernsey, CA , and they or the DS (Dispatcher) did not bring it in to inventory at Fresno. Lazy … I said you need to do this , “Not my job” These people are worthless . I said “i’ll bring m in from Guernsey, CA , and that your Q FRENCH” He was such an asshole …but we had to be correct. Bringing in I moved the locomotive icons from Guernsey to Fresno. They were physically there, Fresno not physically there. Yeah Q-FRSCHI called on time
