- Today's California Zephyr #5 arrived in Fort Morgan at 0859 MDT (3 hrs. & 14 min. late due to equipment issues prior to departure from Chicago as per AMTRAK's main web site). P42s #146 & #194 provided the power to the 8-car train which was stopped for a two-car single spot passenger call with one departing passenger from car 4 and one new patron to car 7. With the passenger service safely completed. the highball was given and on a clear signal into a restricted speed area the Zephyr continued its westward trek with the next stop being Union Station in Denver.
My thanks, as always, to the operating crew for the greetings today.
Everyone please stay cool and safe!
Temp. 82 F. Feels like 82 F.
Hi Mike and thanks for the catch of #5 this morning. I’m so late watching this today that you’re probably getting ready for tomorrow’s Zephyr! Enjoy your Monday evening and stay safe.
Good evening, Tom; Thanks for dropping by and the comments. I appreciate it. Yep. I did check on tomorrow's #5 and have an idea when it will be here. Also watching tonight's #6 descent into Denver. I won't be covering it tonight.
Have a great evening. Please take care, stay cool, and safe!
Yeah Mike sounds like the zephyr rolled through a little late today. We did have a whole bad bunch of weather last night but that isn't the result. Like you said it was equipment problems. My block didn't have power for about 6 hours. But thankfully I was sort of half dozing. But yeah keep hearing that steel fabrication plant or something in the background. I appreciate you going out and taking videos of The zephyr everyday.
God evening, Robert; I thank you for tuning in along with the comments. Sad to read about the power outage back there. Seems to be a rash of that all over. I hope you didn't lose any foodstuffs from the refrig. or freezer.
Mid-West Millwrights have a couple of big projects where all the steel must be epoxy painted so it all must be sandblasted prior to painting t keep the paint on it. They also party down to the music as they work in the shop.
The later the Zephyr gets here, the more noise comes from across the tracks. LOL!
Have a great evening.
Please take care and stay safe back there.
Good morning Mike. In and out. Looks to be a warm one for you today. Have a great day and be safe.😊😊😊😊😊
Good morning, Gerald; Thank you for tuning in along with the comments. Yep. They didn't mess around any today. It is 88 F and is to go higher but not triple digit range. The humidity is a bit higher and makes it a bit more uncomfortable outside. Cooler tomorrow with a chance of moisture.
Have a great Monday down there.
Please take care and stay safe!
hiMike thanks for the catch of #5 today. stay cool and hydrated.
Good afternoon, Ken; I thank you for stopping by as well as the comments. Very much appreciated.
Have a great Monday afternoon and evening back there.
Please take care, stay cool, and safe!
Good Monday morning Mike! Thanks for sending the heat! Haha. 87 currently and feels like 109 already at 10:48 AM Iowa time. Storms should move in around 4 PM or after today. Have a great day out your way Sir! I’m doing my best to! Mark in Iowa.
Good morning, Mark; I thank you for stopping by as well as the comments. We are in the same ballpark, yet I am not close on the heat index yet. Might happen later today though.
Looks like a great day to remain indoors and enjoy the A/C.
Please take care, stay cool, and safe back there.
Hey Mike, Good afternoon. Just caught the video @ 1:20. Heat's all around. Already up to 94° & the humidity is only 53% at the moment. F/C the heat index will reach 111 today.
T'storms knocked out my power yesterday for 2 1/2 hrs... spoiled dinner. Hope my shrimp is still good today. Take care, my friend, and stay cool in this heat. STAY SAFE.
Good afternoon, Jim; Thanks for tuning in along with the comments. It is 93 F. and baking with 18% humidity. Have some breezes to push it all around. LOL! Maybe a bit cooler today without the triple digit temps we had yesterday. Summertime on the plains of eastern Colorado. 🥵🤧😂 If the heat doesn't do it the pollen will.
Hope those temps don't last back there. Sad to read you lost power from a T'storm. We had one roll thru here yesterday late afternoon that left mud balls all over the windshield of my PU. Haven't lost power here is several years. I do hope the shrimp are still good. They also make great fish bait. LOL!
Please take care, stay cool, and safe back there!
Morning Mike. Just back from a early ride now a Zephyr video, what a great start to the week. Stay cool today my friend.
Good morning, David; Thanks for dialing in along with the comments. You picked a great time for a bike ride. Sure beats the incoming heat. I feel the need to rea=main inside today. Humidity is on the rise making the heat index even higher. With luck, a little cooler tomorrow.
Have a great Monday up there.
Take care, stay cool, and safe!
Nice, quick approach, nice, smooth step, and quick departure… and they gave some early horn music (maybe knowing you had all that workday noise to deal with!..). Have a safe day!
Good morning and thank you for dropping by as well as the comments. It was a nice station stop here today. I think the horn music on departure was to the signal maintainer working at West Street. It did catch my attention. Oh well.
I hope that you have a great Monday.
Please take care, stay cool, and safe!
Good afternoon Mike great video well done on what looks like a very hot day by the heat shimmer
Good afternoon, James; Thank you for tuning in as well as the comments. The heat was starting to come on strong. We didn't go into the triple digit area but came close on the F. scale and the other two temperature ranges as well. They all read HOT! May get a break tomorrow.
Have a great afternoon and evening up there.
Please take care, stay cool, and safe!
Hi Mike love the sounds, dog days of summer have arrived,stay cool😅
Good afternoon, Jeb; Thanks for dropping by and the comments. I appreciate it. You hit it on the spot with the dog days of summer already.
Have a great Monday afternoon and evening.
Please take care, stay cool, and safe!
Hello Mike , appears that the tumble weeds are growing well along the tracks
God evening, Ric-Rac_Mankato; Thank you for dialing in and the comments. Yep. They are about 5 Ft. tall on the west end of the platform. Give them a sniff of rain and they grow another 5 inches. LOL!
Have a great evening. Please take care and stay safe!
Good late afternoon Mike, hope all is well. Are you getting any rain? Turned on my local news to hear someone called about a suspious bag on the Flyerĺ as they got into Purcell, a little town south of OKC,& held them up a couple of hrs, found nothing.Thats the 1st time anything like thats happened..Hope you have a blessed day.Thank you for # 5.👋🐦💥😎
Good evening, Carolyn; I thank you for stopping by as well as the comments. We got just enough rain to make mud balls on the windshields. Not enough to make it smell good.
Well, at least someone on that train was nosy enough to see that something didn't look right. Even though it was nothing, it was still a good call to have it checked out.
Anyway, Have a great evening down there. Please take care, stay cool, and safe! 🤠👋🐦🐓🕊🕊🐇👌👍
