This morning's California Zephyr #5 made its station stop in Fort Morgan at 0543 MST (departed 1 min. late). It was a two-spot stop with 2 passengers stepping to the mid-station platform from car 3 (sleeper). Mandy also stepped from the car and stayed on the platform as the train was moved ahead bringing car 7 (coach) to the station platform for 2 more stepping to the platform. As the train was moved, Mandy gave me a refreshment box with a hot cocoa (nice changeup), a candy cane, and a cookie. She also took the time to say hi to a viewer and the rest of the audience. Then was off to car 8 to open the door for the family of 5 headed out on a Christmas trip.
With the station work safely completed, the high ball was given and on a clear signal the Zephyr departed for Denver's Union Station.
My thanks, as always, to the operating crew for the greetings this morning.
Everyone please stay safe!
