Early on the morning of the 15th of July, I was set out from the rear on the mains next to the new BNSF Logistics Park Intermodal Terminal. I decided my best bet would be to catch some sleep and try to get on the first train that stopped to work when I woke up. At around 9:00 AM a Z train rolled in and dropped a block. I scrambled to pack up my gear but I wasn't quick enough and the train took off before I had even compressed my sleep system. A while later another train pulled in that was mostly comprised of TOFC. The units disconnected to work and the rest of the train sat on the mains until the crew was very close to going dead on the clock. I heard on the scanner that "The Eastbound" would be crew changing in Argentine so I got under a very comfortable Walmart trailer and enjoyed the ride. 07/15/2017
