Today's California Zephyr #5 arrived in Fort Morgan at 0549 MST (7 min. off). Ric had P42s #146 & #207 bring the 8-car train to a single spot-2 car station stop with 2 new patrons to car 2 while 7 passengers stepped from car 7 followed by 2 new fares and a companion boarding car 7. With the passenger service apparently completed the high ball was given followed by a stop call due to a forgotten bag for the duo boarding car 7. Ince the bag was retrieved and safely onboard with its owner, the second proceed call was given and on a clear signal, Ric ramped up the amps moving the consist west toward its next stop at Denver's Union Station.
My thanks to the operating crew for the greetings this morning.
Everyone please stay safe!
