- Today's California Zephyr #5 arrived in Fort Morgan at 0507 MST (4 min. off but well in the window). P42s #190 & #25 provided the power to the 8-car train which was stopped with car 7 to the car park for passenger service. There were 3 departing passengers (including a tot in arms) and 1 new fare. With the station work safely concluded, Joe gave the high ball and on a clear signal at west Ft. Morgan, the Zephyr departed for its next stop at Denver's Union Station.
My thanks as always to the operating crew for the greetings.
Everyone please stay safe!
Temp. 27 F. Wind chill 20 F.

Good morning Mike great job you have a safe morning.
Good morning, James; Thank you for stopping b along with the comments. I appreciate it. Coffee has been drunk. New shopping lists made now to cross them off.
Have a great Tuesday.
Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning. As someone has already remarked, the on-time performance is excellent when there is no track work underway. Thank you for your comments yesterday about Xmas decorations on the train. I will stay on the lookout for a passenger’s decorations, maybe lights, too. Take care, and keep warm.
Good afternoon, Paul; I thank you for dropping by as well as the comments. When they let the big dogs loose, they can really make tracks. I was almost caught off guard this morning by how close to Ft. Morgan they were. Have to reset the internal alarm clock. LOL!
As I see them, I'll try to capture on the video as well. They do add to the trains.
Have a great Tuesday evening.
Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning, Mike!
Sounds a little chilly, but, great weather for the Zephyr. On time, and it looks like Joe has the procedure and lingo perfected!
Holy cow, that woman knelt down, wrapped her arms around that giant suitcase, and stepped up and right onto the train! 😮 I was impressed!
Well, first Christmas party of the season, tonight. My oldest daughter and I are taking my youngest to her workshop party. They are feeding us a chicken dinner dinner, AND I hear Santa will be there! 🎅 Such fun for the "kids"!
You have a great rest of your day!

Good morning, Jean; Thak you for dialing in as well as the comments. Just came back from a shopping spree at Walgreen's. Saw your comments and figured I'd let my wallet have a break before I go to Safeway. LOL! I think that black bag weighed in around 100 lbs. or so. I was surprised it was on wheels.
The Christmas party sounds like fun! I'll pass on the chicken, but it still sounds fun. I broke out my Jingle Ball cap and will commence wearing it to the depot in the morning. I'll use it thru Christmas Day and then return it to secure storage until this time next year. It is a cap I purchased many years ago from Duluth Trading and they still have it listed in a specialty catalog on-line. I missed seeing Santa at the local Christmas Parade last week. Couldn't miss all the police and fire department sirens though. Jay Rock does stuff posted a video of the local parade. I watched some of it.
I hope that you all have a great Tuesday and Christmas party tonight.
Please take care, stay warm, and safe! 👋👍

Hi Mike-snow & rain are on their way Weds & Thursday. So a cloudy day mid 50s. Nice to see passengers. Take care & TY for 5.
Good morning, Cheryl; I thank you for dialing in as well as the comments. Heavy overcast here but no moisture until maybe tomorrow afternoon. Back to the 50s by Sunday though.
It is always neat to see the passenger work here. Don't know where they all come from or go to but nice to see them.
Hope that you have a great Tuesday.
Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Yeah that's a time really close! I'm amazed at now that they don't have to do all that track work and everything that thing's running really well.

Good morning, Ben; Thanks for dialing in as well as the comments. I was concerned that you and several others I know were in harm's way back there. Hope that you and yours were untouched by the turny-twisty things.
It is overcast here with no chance of precip. today. Better chance of that here tomorrow. I see my laptop is playing games with me again.
