Your dad worked in engineering services? We in the running trades have a love hate relationship with that department. If a conductor twists his ankle walking on uneven ballast, we blame the section. But we do appreciate their compliance with rule 110.

A weekend, what is that? I get about 10 trips in per month. Once I have reached 3800 miles I am off until the start of the next month. I book 24 hours rest after a trip though.

One freight train can go from Vancouver to Montreal but they change out crews at each terminal.

Cars are dropped off and picked up at each terminal crew change. Not always though.
