This morning's California Zephyr #5 made its station stop in Fort Morgan at 0550 MDT (5 min. off). Ric had P42s #157 & #11 bring the 8-car train to a stop with car 7 to the station ramp for passenger service to 1 departing passenger and then to 5 new fares joining the train.
With the station work safely completed, the high ball was given and on a clear signal at west Ft. Morgan CP, Ric ramped up the amps to traction motors moving the Zephyr west toward its next stop at Union Station in Denver.
My thanks, as always, to the operating crew for the waves and the greetings this morning.
Everyone please stay safe!
