The first of a "Two-fer" this morning finds California Zephyr #6 arriving from Denver at 0518 MDT (9 Hrs. & 2 Min. late). P40 #817 & P42 #146 brought the reverse order running train to a stop with car 3 (Coach class) to the parking area platform for 1 departing passenger and 1 new fare headed to Omaha. A conversation with the patron's spouse about why the train are so late was held with a discussion of heat (sun) kinks and slow orders for that issue as well as the derailment in eastern Nevada which caused a detour for the Zephyrs and other Up trains around that site.
With the station work safely completed, the high ball was given and on a clear signal at east Ft, Morgan CP, the #6 Zephyr was underway for its next stop at McCook, NE.
Thanks to the operating crew for the greetings this morning.
Everyone please stay safe!
#5 is due around 0725 MDT. Please stay tuned.
Temp. 60 F. Feels like 62 F.
Headed for 104 F. today. Cool by some standards yet a record breaker here.
