A bit of a disheartening start

I drove down to the departure yard to scope the drag of the ZDVCY, which is the manifest train up to Cheyenne that gets picked up tomorrow night by the IG3OA train from Chicago to Oakland.

No rides.

I walked the entire length of the train;  it was almost all 40-foot containers, but no ridable well cars.   So now my only remaining option tonight is the much "harder" train to catch.  It's a Z train (highest priority aside from passenger.  It leaves usually at 4AM sharp, and gets to Green River around noon tomorrow.  There I would bail off, and attempt to catch another train that goes on through to Oakland.  (The ZDVSC terminates in Salt Lake City).  http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/Sal+Tlay+Ka+Siti/4yjIbh?src=5

So.... yeah.
