Today's California Zephyr #5 made its station stop in Fort Morgan at 0604 MDT (20 min. late due to a meet with the #6 Zephyr at Max, NE and several slow orders). Ric had P42s #72 & #29 bring the 8-car train to a single spot two car passenger service with 1 departing passenger from car 3 and 3 departing passengers from car 7. Then 6 new fares boarded car 7 for the trip west.
With the station work safely completed, the high ball was given and on a clear signal Ric ramped up the amps to the traction motors moving the Zephyr west toward Denver and a stop at Union Station there.
My thanks, as always, to the operating crew for the greetings this morning.
I was joined by two other rail fans this morning as they stopped to catch the Zephyr before heading to Julesburg, CO for a day of UP railfanning out there.
Everyone please stay safe!
