I lived in Ft Morgan 25 years ago. I was a manager in training for the old ALCO store. For about a year. Loved living there and would have probably moved there long term had things turned out differently. Watching your video of Amtrak brings back good memories. Thanks for taking the time to do this every morning.
Good evening and thank you for tuning in along with the comments. I shopped there until they closed the store. Still won't go to that big box on Barlow Road. Oh well. I used to be young once. LOL. Now, just young at heart. Have a great evening. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning, Robert; I thank you for tuning in along with the comment. I appreciate it. I think more AMTRAK trains run at night than other times of the day. If I see a passenger train in the daylight, there was a major holdup somewhere along the route. I hope that you have a great Thursday back there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good Evening Mr. Mike, It's a cool night in Houston with a few showers that should disappear by midnight. Thursday should be again in the 70's ☀️ Thanks for the #5 coverage. I saw y'all had some big snow a few days ago - Oh my. I hope you have a great Thursday. Be safe, Be well. Signal Indication Papa Geoff - Here we go on a clear - Clear signal, thanks, OUT 🚦🚦
Good morning, Papa Geoff; I thank you for dialing in as well as the comments. It is 25 F currently and will warm into the 50sagain today. Almost all of the snow has melted in and we are ready for the next dose of moisture due Sunday into Monday. I think the Easter Bunny is safe though. The weather guessers did take the 70s away from us for the weekend though. Oh well. is it still a bit warmer than average. Anyway, I hope that you and yours have a great Thursday. Please take care and stay safe!
Hi Mike,, boy its cold here, had some snow west of us & a little rain.Had planned a trip to Sam's but opened the door to check my mail, decided to wait on warmer weather, nothing earth shattering to get.Hope your day has been blessed one, hope to see the lady tomorrow & thank you for being there.❤👋😉😀🦉🐔🐓
Good evening, Carolyn; Thanks for dialing in along with the comments. Almost all of the snow here has melted, and we are ready for more. May get some Sunday into Monday according to most of the prognosticators around here. My right big toe agrees with them LOL! 😂 Maybe a trip to Sam's tomorrow. I am in the search for a new camcorder. Have done a search for the one I was after, but the Best Buy stores aren't carrying it. Won't shop Walmart and not a member of Costco. Yes. There are other places, but Amazon doesn't interest me either and e-bay is a rip off for most of the electronics. Oh well. Something will show up. Anyway, have a great evening. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!
Good evening and thanks for dropping by along with the comment. I was watching but you went by in a flash. The engineer was doing it right. I hope that your journey was/is a good one. Please take care and stay safe!
Hi Mike! Smooth sailing today, with that quick stop! Forgot to download TH-cam on my new phone!! Thought my day just wasn't right. Felt like something was missing! Rooster was trying to compete with the Zephyr as she left town! Such a beautiful sound! Have a great rest of your Wednesday! Jean
Good evening, Jean; I thank you for stopping by and for loading TH-cam into the new phone. I know how those things become habit forming. LOL! I will be using my backup camera in the morning. I am not pleased with what I have been getting from my big cam. I am looking at replacement cameras as well. Maybe. Hope that you have a great Thursday. Please take care and stay safe!
Good afternoon, Mike. Got all my weekly domestic activities out of the way and finally have a chance to sit back and watch the Zephyr's passage thru Ft Morgan. Watching the two "Golden Age" passengers boarding reminds me of how I'd look doing the same thing. It's no different than how I look getting on a bus, here in Phoenix! I have no love of old age, darn it! Anyhow, stay warm, take care and I'll check in tomorrow.
Good afternoon, Phil; Thank you for stopping by along with the comments. I think if the crew had chosen to do a two-spot stop for passengers this morning it would have been a bit different. Many of us don't care to wear that label of a "Golden ager" or other monikers that I've heard. Being one myself, I don't like it either. It does make a difference if we let the folks know that we have a restriction or mobility issue. That is the one thing I do inform AMTRAK of but have not been treated much differently except during boarding or departing the train. Oh well. Vanity does come with a price, I guess. Have a great afternoon and evening down there. Please take care and stay safe!
It was good to see the pointless arrow again! It's been many many many years since I've seen the pointless arrow on an Amtrak train. I've seen pictures of it. When I started writing Amtrak in like 1988 or 1989 and all of that, I would always see that pointless arrow. That brings back memories. I like the delivery number 7 that they have two. But it's just good to see a good classic like the pointless arrow. I'm glad you got to catch that today.
Good morning, Robert; I thank you for tuning in along with the comments today. It is the first time for this engine out here with the 50th graphics on the sides. As I recall it was used out here several years ago as one of the engines on the Winter Park Express. Nice of AMTRAK to send it our way again. Have a great Wednesday back there. Please take care and stay safe!
Hi Mike. Thanks for the video. Not quite Spring Break levels this week, but there seems to be pretty consistent passenger activity at Fort Morgan. Take care!
Good morning, suz; Thanks for dialing in along with the comments today. I was surprised at the numbers of riders this morning. Didn't expect any or that many. I do like to see the usage of the station though. Hope that you have a great Wednesday up there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good afternoon, James; Thanks for dialing in along with the comments. I appreciate it. Have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning Mike. Like the arrow on the lead engine. Quick stop gets you to coffee and a warmer spot that much sooner. Better days are coming (meaning warmer). Have a safe day.
Good morning, David; Thanks for dropping by along with the comments. We haven't seen this engine with the graphics on the sides. I liked it. Yep. Headed for coffee real soon. May do some stuff outside now that most of the snow has melted. Have a great Wednesday up there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning Mike from sunny 43 mid Tenn heading to 60 today and up to 80 by Sunday. Spring is finally here I believe. Enjoy your hot coffee today, I am just about to as well.
Good morning, Ben; Thanks for tuning in as well as the comments today. We won't get to 60 but we are working the way up to the mid 50s. That should be our highs for the rest of the week with rain and snow moving into the area Sunday evening and Monday. Typical springtime in Colorado. I did enjoy all the coffee today. The coffee from Peppy's gets me thru the upload process and then to Zazzy's for more coffee and a muffin just for the heck of it. Have a great Wednesday back there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good Wednesday morning Mike! Nice quick stop again this morning! Finally clearing off here and should be in the upper 40’s here today! Hoping your weather warms up some as well! Have a great Wednesday Sir! I definitely am! Mark in Iowa.
Good morning, Mark; Thanks for dialing in as well as the comments. It is starting out clear, but I think that will change. Oh well. Should reach into the mid 50s today and not go any warmer through the weekend. Rain and mix with snow on Sunday evening into Monday. Hope that you have a great Wednesday back there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning, Gerald; Thank you for dropping by as well as the comments. They did a great job of bringing the train in closer to advertised today. More like they usually do. You were right about the coffee and then home. Got this posted then out to Zazzy's for more coffee and BS with Marne and the guys. Hope that you have a great Wednesday. Please take care and stay safe!
God afternoon, Steve; Thaks for dropping by and the comment. It got warm enough yesterday to do a lot of melting. It's 51 F right now and more is melting into the soil. The weather guessers are saying we may get more Sunday into Monday. Bring it on! Have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning, Richard, I thank you for stopping by as well as the comments. Don't forget there was another couple boarding the sleeper during this stop. They were well west on the platform as much as car 7 was to the east. It all worked out though. I hope that you have a great Wednesday. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning, Jack; Thanks for looking in and the comment. Yep. Should get more melt today with a little higher temps and more sunshine. Have a great Wednesday. Take care and stay safe!

Thanks for your efforts! I live in NC on the mainline of the Norfolk Southern but the Amtrak comes thru at an odd time.bob

I saw you as car 3 went by your tripod. Went by so fast. The new sleeper couple ended up right across from me.

Missed the Bloody Nose by one day and I gotta work way out on the mountain today. Hopefully they'll send it back this way on Friday.
I hate it when that happens. Take care and stay safe!
Mike, Joe should know to bring the coach cars further up the platform in order to load those older folks easier. Just saying- enjoy your day.
