Bruce says:
"According to my timeslip for that day we were on duty at Cheney at 12:15 pm. We drove to Coulee City and began train service at 3:15 pm. Rod Aho was a Student Engineer that day and we had 8702, 328, & 329 for power. We left Coulee City with 19 loads, and added 8 more at Hartline and 10 at Almira. We were relieved at Webb (just east of Creston) at 10 pm and then drove back to Cheney, arriving there at 11:30 pm, making for an 11 hour day."
