Cool! Maybe they'll offer a package tour: "Starting with a 04:10 AM dogcatch for the Bakersfield Local, we next visit the Yard Office and wait for two hours for the Dispatcher to determine we'll no longer be needed. After another fun night driving through blinding fog, we'll 'mark off' our driver at 10:05 AM so we can get him some rest before we call him on duty again at 13:00 this same afternoon to deadhead two spoiled Chain Gang crews over their 'Long Pool' district from Stockton to Bakersfield. This round trip will exceed 450 miles for our driver, and along the way, we'll have ample opportunity to listen to the crew complain about our driver, @#$%& about their jobs and fight over where to stop to eat. Finally, we'll get an up-close look at a typical railroad terminal as the Trainmaster orders our tunnel-visioned driver to further combat his trembling fatigue and navigate past Diesel Service, up between the yard tracks that are actively being switched and to the head end of our crew's train- getting the van trapped as a final, shining moment. Packages starting at $2.00 per person."
