This morning's California Zephyr #5 arrived in Fort Morgan at 0544 MST (2 min. early and departed On Schedule). Power was from P42s #45 & #59. The station stop was a 2 car - 2 spot with the first being car 2 for 1 passenger detraining. Then the train was moved to bring car 7 to the station platform for 2 more passengers stepping from the train. There were no new passengers today.
After a brief dwell time the Zephyr departed for its next stop at Denver's Union Station from where it will take on the climb to the Moffat Tunnel and the western slope of Colorado as it makes the journey to Emeryville, CA.
My thanks, as always, to the operating crew for the greetings today.
Everyone please stay warm and safe!
