Good Morning Mike. Full moon here out my window in Southern California too. Wr are our collective breaths, the dry Santa Ana winds are back again today. Hoping for no sparks! Be warm and safe.
Good morning, Thomas; Thank you for dropping by and the comments. The return of the Santa Anas has been made known back here. I am watching with interest as to how that all plays out for that area of California. Hope there aren't sparks and arcs out there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning Mike: Nice video this cold morning. Hope your trip was good yesterday. We had some snow in ABQ yesterday, nothing stuck to the ground. 28 degrees this morning. Doings a little better this morning. Have a good day. That coffee is waiting for you.😊😊😊😊😊
Good morning, Gerald; I thank you for tuning in as well as the comments. I was given a warrantee good for another 110 days or so. LOL! Now I have to find another lame excuse to travel to Greeley for other reasons. It has reached 23 F. at 1002 local. Seems as though the next couple of days will be the "Warm before the storm" up here. I think the snow has been written out of the forecast for here. It went from 2+inches to maybe 1 inch to possible skiff of snow. Oh well. Anyway, have a great Tuesday down there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!
Hi Mike-sure is a beautiful moon Mike-hear #5 on the approach/see some safety lights flashing down at the east gates from depot-that lady really needed her vapor-boost-not much foot traffic-thanks Mike for enduring the elements,hope all is well with you,take care my friend, -Jeb
Good morning, Jeb; I thank you for dropping by along with the comments. I was impressed with a nearly clear sky this morning. I knew the humidity was low and then jumped but that is normal here. We may get to see more warning lights in mobile equipment in the near future with a cold storage facility being erected on the north side of the BNSF right-of-way to the east and across from the Cargill facility. All was good from the medical appointment yesterday. I'll try it all again in May. Have a great Tuesday. Please take care and stay safe!
Hey Mike, I thought you were Superman standing in that ugly weather. I came to learn you have all the modern gear to keep you warm, lol. I give you credit for standing out in that weather, I know it's not my kind of weather, have a good one buddy.
Good morning, greatnorthern930; I thank you for stopping by and the comments. I have worked in a lot colder environments. You are correct that if one dressed for it, it isn't too bad. I admit the wind had a real bite this morning. I am planning on how to stay with the program as we get the sub-zero temperatures coming this weekend. I think that will be covered from the cab of the pickup. (I am a wimp anymore). LOL! Have a great Tuesday. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning Mike from 20 sunny mid Tenn heading to a warm 45 today. Nice quiet.( except brakes) uneventful stop for a lady quick smoke. My my cold doesn't stop those smokes. Enjoy your Zazzys morning with the guys.
Good morning, Ben; I thank you for tuning in along with the comments. I once did much the same as that vaper did. Happily, gave that up and haven't looked back. At least the A/C didn't have to dance on the platform here for as long as he did at McCook, NE. Zazzy's was a full house this morning with plenty of warm coffee all around. Now, I'm paying for it. LOL! Have a great Tuesday back there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning, Stephen; Thank you for dropping by as well as the comments. I am so happy that I don't have to rely on the nicotine to keep me going anymore. Gave that stuff up about 30 years ago. Anyway, have a great Tuesday. Please take care and stay safe!
@@davidjackson7281 Never used, never needed, and illegal in my days of being stupid. AMTRAK is federal and it is still illegal on federal property. Also, in the state of Colorado, it is still illegal to use cannabis outside. To be consumed indoors only.
@@Mikeinmorgan That sounds like a radical, leftist, Woke, fascist communistic control freak policy. No one has to worry about vaping 20 feet from the train. Meanwhile alcohol is encouraged. What hypocrisy.
Good morning, Norman; Thanks for dialing in as well as the comments. I am sure there would have been if it were later in the day as the entire BNSF right-of-way thru Fort Morgan is a Quiet Zone. That dates back to when coal trains were coming thru every 25 minutes or so. The train crews would seem to lay on the horn from one end of the city to the other end and beyond with the horn music. Then too many people who didn't grow up around railroads moved in and complained more than it was worth. Hearing horn music never bothered me having grown up in a community with Union Pacific running the main to Kansas City and the former Rock Island running east and west. Anyway, the Quiet Zone exists at 2 other communities in Morgan County. Have a great Tuesday. Please take care and stay safe!
Good Morning Mike thanks for the catch of #5 today. we are going back in our deep freeze again but not as cold as it is there. have a great day and a safe one.
Good morning, Ken; Thanks for dialing in along with the comments. We will get even colder over the weekend out here. I think the Siberian freeze will cover a lot of the US. Anyway. have a great Tuesday back there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good Tuesday morning Mike! A cold 4 degrees here in southeast Iowa this morning at 08:16 hours. Maybe will get up to 12 degrees here today! Trusting all went well yesterday for you! Have a great Tuesday out your way Sir! I’m doing my best to stay warm! Mark in Iowa.
Good morning, Mark; Thank you for tuning in along with the comments. My computer is telling me that it has hit 20 F. here at 0935 local. The results of the medical appointment have hit the computer and only 1 reading was out of the normal range. My doctor warrantied me for another 110 days. Now I have to come up with another lame excuse to drive over to Greeley for fun and recreation there. LOL! Anyway, have a great Tuesday back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!
Hello Mike, heard you say you use hand warmers. Have you tried the shoe version? What is the flashing yellow lights in the distance on the right hand side of the inbound train? They are not there every day. Have a great day.
Good afternoon, Mike; I thank you for stopping by and the comments. Yep. I do use the "Grabber" hand warmers. I have tried the toe and foot pads as well but don't have an issue with my feet going cold as I do with my fingers. That has been an issue with me for several years as I get older. But fee? No problem. The flashers you are seeing are on the Trackmobile that Cargill uses to move their railcars around in their yard. I believe they also have blue flashers that are seen once in a while. I have no idea what other than to denote work in progress on or around railcars. The Trackmobile they have is very similar to one I operated while employed at Western Sugar here in Ft. Morgan. Hope that you have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care and stay safe!
Welcome back, Mike. Any idea what that vehicle is with red flashers & headlights on that gas been parked down the track? Quite visible as #5 approaches the station. Stay safe, be careful and make sure you got juice in the mitten warmers!!
Good morning, Jim; I thank you for tuning in as well as the comments/question. The flashers you see are the car mover that the Cargill plant uses to shuttle the various train cars around. There is a lot of tallow and dried bones that leave via the tankers and covered hoppers. Once in a while you may see a flashing blue light at the same place. There soon will be another industrial complex that will be shuttling rail cars on the north side of the BNSF right-of-way at a cold storage facility that is being constructed near Barlow Road (Cnty. Rd. 20). Hope that you have a great Tuesday. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning Mike. Great looking moon last night and even before it was dark. Must have been a good night to ride the Zephyr. Hope all went well with your medical yesterday. Have a great day and stay safe and warm out there.
Good morning, David; I thank you for dropping by along with the comments. All but one test result from yesterday's medical road trip have come back in the normal range. Mind you that is physical and not mental. LOL! But I do have a piece of paper signed by a doctor that says I am sane. LOL! Hoping that the operating crew has made it home and into warmth after that run from Lincoln. I think it will be a decent winter day here. Not looking forward to the weekend temperatures. Oh well. Have a great Tuesday over there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good Morning Mike. Full moon here out my window in Southern California too. Wr are our collective breaths, the dry Santa Ana winds are back again today. Hoping for no sparks!

I always like to hear the two short blasts on the horn signaling start up; but there were none today !
