Another day, another dogcatch
Fourteen miles from its regular crew change at Klamath Falls, the Coast Starlight pauses to take on a relief crew at Worden. Having crossed the California/Oregon state line a couple of miles back, the crew almost made it all the way from Oakland to Klamath on their hours of service.
I am friends with a retired Amtrak engineer that worked out of Portland. He said he had dogcaught train 14 at every CTC siding between Dunsmuir and Klamath Falls during his career. Today, crews on the Starlight work from Sacramento to Klamath.
