Today's California Zephyr #5 arrived in Fort Morgan at 0544 MDT (On Schedule). P42s #126 & #140 powered the 9-car train to a stop with car 7 to the station platform for 1 departing passenger and 2 new fares.
With the station work safely completed the high ball was given and on a clear signal at west Ft. Morgan CP the Zephyr rolled west toward Union Station in Denver as its next stop.
BNSF Track Geometry car #91 was tagging along as the last car in this train. Unknown if it was recording or not. It will more than likely be dropped in Denver as when #5 departs Denver the Zephyr will be operating in Union Pacific tracks to Oakland.
Thanks to the operating crew for the greetings.
Everyone please stay safe!
