Prior to the appearance of the Zephyr this morning, I overheard a communication between the dispatcher and #5 about having a police presence to meet the train upon arrival in Fort Morgan. The Zephyr did make its stop here at 0625 MST (1 hr. & 32 min. late). P42s #19 & #4 brought the 8-car consist to a stop with cars 6 & 7 to the parking area platform for passenger service and a police escort from car 6 with1 ex passenger.
I lost count of the departing passengers but there was at least 1 off and 1 new fare who boarded car 7. Both police came by the camera on their way to meet with Mandy at car 6 door.
There was a lot of standing around and info exchange which was rather boring. Feel free to skip over most of the video material to time stamp 13:00 .
Finally, the high ball was given and on a clear signal, the Zephyr departed for Denver's Union Station.
Thanks to the operating crew for the greetings this morning as well as the local law enforcement.
Everyone please stay safe!
