29th April 2008

I wasn't the only one that didn't know where my reload was, neither did BFS. Neil and I were both empty Monday morning and then sat for 3 hours waiting for instructions. When we eventually got them we had 280km to cover in less than 2 1/2hrs, an impossible task but told to do our best. Arrived at Neepawa, Manitoba 30 minutes late and told to come back at 08.00, all this for a trip of 119 miles to Winnipeg.
Loaded Tuesday morning and tipped Winnipeg in the afternoon and reloaded train wheels for my 3rd trip in 3 weeks to Chicago. They have managed to separate Neil and I at last.
Taking Wednesday off and will leave Thursday morning.

I know the slogan is "take the train, let it take the strain" but don't think they meant bit by bit :)
