Sleepy the Conductor? How can I sleep when the engineer is snoring? No really it was a crap-shoot the way engines were facing when they came in. Somtimes all we had was east facing engines at the pad so one of the jobs I got a lot was to take them around the Delray wye to have them facing west. Eventually they would come back facing east. Power asignments dictate what you will have so it is not always easy to have a back to back consist. <br />As for getting a nice engine in the lead that is another story. A few time we would have a nice BN SD-70MAC on the way back from Toledo. The next trip out we would have the same unit with a dual control 40 in the lead. The man at the pad said the Head End device wouldn't work with the EOT. But we had it in the lead before and it worked. Oh well the joys of the railroad.
