I think they were called out of the regular rotation either off the pool board or extra board.

Crews loved the rotary - if they were prepared for it. They got paid from the moment they went on duty until they got back. They called the Rotary the "Wheel of Fortune", because they made a small one when they went out.

Now, the Durango guys who worked a train the Chama, expecting to go home in 10 hours but got shanghied, put on the OM only to get stuck at Coxo and marooned for 10 days probably thought different, even though they got a big paycheck too.
