This Calif. Zephyr #5 made its station stop in Fort Morgan at 0549 MDT (6 Min. off but will be 30 minutes early into Denver). A two car, two stop station visit with 2 new fares joining car 2 then the train was moved ahead to bring car 7 to the station platform for 4 new fares to the coach. Meanwhile, my friend Darrell stepped from the sight seer/lounge car with a P.R. coffee and presented it to me. Thank you, Darrell! He also addressed the viewers and family thru the lens of the camera.
With the passenger work safely completed and all where they were supposed to be, the high ball was given and on a clear signal at west Ft. Morgan CP, Ollie released the brakes and ramped up the amps to the traction motors moving the Zephyr toward its next stop at Denver's Union Station.
My thanks, as always, to the operating crew for the greetings and to Darrell for the coffee and the greetings.
Everyone please stay safe!
