Good morning, Gary; I thank you for stopping by and the comments. Hope that you have a great Monday out there. Please take care and stay safe!

Good afternoon, Jim; I thank you for tuning in along with the comments. Nice to read the temps have eased from the real chill a bit. Still have the interior Christmas decor to erect. Won't take too long for that. Exterior lighting is in place and working. Have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care and stay safe!

Good morn9ing, Jeb; Thank you for dialing in and the comments. Even the parking area has emptied out! I was able to park on the east side again and make my entire walking route this morning. He was headed for home after they made Denver. Has some time off. The Big Red volleyball team rebounded after the loss to Penn State. Good for them as it makes them 19 - 1 in conference. Now to hear which bowl the Huskers have been invited to. Have a great Monday. Please take care and stay safe!

Good afternoon, Ben; Thanks for dropping by and the comments. Sounds BRRR! to me. We have a small blob of cooler air running thru today. Tomorrow back into the 50s. We did put up the exterior Christmas lights yesterday. They all lit last night but may have to adjust the timer a bit. Most of our birds have moved on and I wish they would have taken the squirrels with them. The pesky things got to about 1/3 of the pears and they are still looking for more. Oh well. Hope the coffee was warming. Please take care and stay safe back there!

Good morning, Kenny; Thanks for dialing in and the comments. I appreciate it. You are getting more of the cold air than we are out here. BRRR! Have a great Monday. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good morning, BBQRando; Thank you for dialing in and the comment. I appreciate it. Have a great Monday. Please take care and stay safe!

Hello, John; Thanks for stopping by and the comments. She didn't have mobility issues. Just the drop from the car to the platform. As I stated, I was unsure where the step was. Mandy is usually on spot with that. Yes, it was HGTV and the "Hometown Makeover" program. What a farce. The mayor at the time had her heart in the right place but not in what was needed to "revitalize " Fort Morgan. All but one of the businesses has removed the trappings installed by that group. The city has thankfully removed other trappings brought in by that show. Artwork placed on the exterior of several buildings has faded and removed. As for the homes involved, I am unsure what has become of them. At this time, I don't care anymore. There are other issues that need much more attention to move the city ahead. Off my soapbox. As for a timeline on the new platform.... who knows. AMTRAK now owns the station and surrounding area yet the new owners of the grain elevator are encroaching ever closer to that area. Anyway, have a great Monday. Please take care and stay safe!

Goode afternoon. BBQRando; I thank you for stopping by and the comment. I appreciate it. Please take care and stay safe

That last car is usually a combo coach/baggage car. In this consist that last car was a combo coach/cafe car or "club" car where the lower level is set up to provide the same libations and noshes as the lounge car. It is the only one in the train sets that operate as the California Zephyr.

Well by golly that's a real deal. Only on CZ you say. Do not recall ever seeing it, sounds good for coach folks going the full distance route. Cost of diner is excessive if even available. Sightseer lounge can get crowded so this would be good for coach folks for eating at least though on lower level not too great for viewing. Were there seats available on it, I couldn't tell.

@@benedmonson3445 Sadly, I don't think that part of the car was in use. There are others out there, but this is the only one I have seen in the Zephyr consists. There is a standard coach also operating as car 8 in the Zephyr train sets. Like the coach/baggage cars the only seating in use is on the upper level. Pre-COVID, the Zephyr ran a special train from Chicago to the Silicon Valley area for the high-end gamers and game creators. This car as well as one other were part of that 12-car trains that usually ran in February. buying a seat was nigh on impossible to those not in that sect.

Good afternoon, Gerald; Thank you for dialing in and the comments. I am having a time staying up with who is posting comments where. I have both computers going in separate rooms. At least I m getting some physical exercise getting back and forth. LOL! Not to worry about having a comment follow into someone else's. I do see a lot of that ion this end and is no worry to me. Anyway, have a great afternoon and evening down there. Please take care and stay safe!

Good afternoon, Ben; Thank you for dialing in and the comments. I have about the same issues on Sundays as I don't get to post until the laundry is done and stowed properly. As for the sleeper passengers, I would put money on them boarding the Zephyr in Chicago. That's the way I ride the Zephyr. I think that the folks who left the sleepers today had more milage to travel to homes. I think the parking area will empty out after tonight's #6 makes its station stop. I hope that you have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Hello. Chris; Thanks for stopping by and the comments. I am happy you found the new channel. I don't have an exact date to abandon this channel yet but it is coming soon. Have a great ride out there. Please take care and stay safe!

Good afternoon, Robert; Thanks for tuning in and the comments. I do understand the chillin' today. I am running back and forth with this computer in one room and the new desktop in another. Getting plenty of exercise. I am afraid to move this laptop as it is cobbled together 10 ways to heavens. I am sure there were many boarding and detraining here today that are headed back to work as well. I am gonna have to take a vacation from this retired stuff. LOL! Have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good afternoon, Jeb; Thanks for dialing in and the comments today. Yep. Thanksgiving visitation is over, and most are on their way home. I hope the birds weren't wanting a bath at your place. BRRR! I am not a member of the polar bear club by any means. 😂🥶🤣 I do enjoy being out there even in the chill. Between the layered clothing, heat packs in the mittens and the killer heater in the PU, I'm good. I hope that you have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good afternoon, Jim; I thank you for dropping by and the comments. The sun is shining brightly although with little warmth and it has made 38 F. at 1045 MST. I do hope your lemon trees come thru it alright. We have friends living in the Valley of the Sun near Phoenix with several lemon trees. My brother visits them every year and returns with bushel basket of lemons. Make for wonderful lemon pies and all. Yummy. Hopefully it will warm up some back there. Plese take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good morning and thanks for dialing in as well as the comments. Yep. The original channel is moribund and due for abandonment soon. LOL! Just like the Rock Island of yore. Won't remove the rails but the messaging system will be turned off. Signal lighting system will also go dark. 😂 Hope that you have a great Sunday. Please take care and stay safe!

@@Mikeinmorgan Have to add "Mike Jensen 80701" to that list of magnificent Fallen Flags!

Good morning, Kenny; I thank you for dialing in and the comments. So far, so good out here. Laundry done and back home without too much hassle. Have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care, say warm, and safe!

Hi RedArrow; Thanks for stopping by and the comment. I am happy that you did find it. Please take care and stay safe!

Good afternoon, Ken; Thanks for tuning in and the comments. That chat was unexpected today. As was saying hi to Mandy. It does make the time fly at the platform. Have a great afternoon back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good morning and thank you for dialing in along with the comments. I didn't see more than the typical 8 cars on this train at Galesburg. There are several passenger trains thru there so it could have been a different train. A look at the consist sat Burlington, Iowa showed the same 8 cars. Oh well. Have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care and stay safe!

Hi Mark; Yep. It's easy to double up right now. I do the same thing with both channels displaying the same video. I have not set a different date as to when this channel will go dormant yet. I'll answer you on the other channel as well. Take care, stay warm, and safe!

Good afternoon, roman5061; Thanks for stopping by and the comment. I hope that you didn't have to wait too long. Please take care and stay safe out there.

Good afternoon, Jim; Thanks for tuning in as well as the comments. Last I checked we were at 48 F. with 50s coming at us for at least a week. I hope that cold air bubble dissipates quickly back there. I do know how the dogs react to the chill. Our lights may start being put up tomorrow as the weather is decent. Have to dig out all the boxes of stuff yet. Anyway, Have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care, stay warm and safe!

Good afternoon, David: Thank you for looking in and the comments. It is ice to be able to post again. Please make sure that you switch to the new channel as this one will go dormant soon. Please take care and stay safe!

Good afternoon and thank you for dialing in along with the comments. I did have a nice thanksgiving. Hope that you had the same. Please take care and stay safe!

Good afternoon, Dennis; Thanks for tuning in along with the comments. I had some of that frustration myself. It is nice to be able to post again. Please make sure that you switch to the new channel soon. It has the same videos I post here but will not be going dormant. Have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care and stay safe!

Good morning, Robert; Thanks for dialing in and the comments. It was a very frustrating time for me as well. It is nice to be back. Have a great Saturday back there. Please take care and stay safe!

Good morning, john; I thank you for dropping by and the comments. That ice formation at the water fill connection was interesting. Reminded me of a "Blue ice" incident between a landing aircraft and a house in Denver. The "Myth-busters" from the Discovery Channel explored that one. I see many first-time passengers here. The question marks floating above their heads become obvious, and I have had that same feeling at a few locations. Anyway, without an agent based here, a guide sometimes is necessary. Have a great Saturday. Please take care and stay safe!

Good morning, Warren; Thank you for looking in and the comment. The coffee, and outstanding heater in the ab of the pickup really felt good this morning. Have a great Saturday. Please take care and stay safe!

Good morning, Jeb; Thanks for dialing in and the comments. That was a hard-fought game in none to favorable conditions. I really enjoyed the game even with the loss by the Big Red. Just wait 'til next season. But first comes a bowl game! The other game was the CSU/Utah State. The good guys won that one in a4th quarter flurry. The wind had a real bite to it this morning. I was more than happy to return to the pickup and a nearly warm cab. Found coffee and that really did the trick. Anyway, I'll do it all again tomorrow. Have a great Saturday. Please take care and stay safe!

Good morning and thank you for stopping by along with the comments. When those good folks are looking around with the big question mark hanging over their heads, it's time to act. That could have been negated IF the lead conductor had chosen to do a two-spot stop allowing the sleeper passengers to detrain first then moved the train forward to bring the coach near the same spot. Although unseen, the passenger who detrained from the coach was using a cane as she moved around and stepping across the ballast at the location the coach was stopped at was difficult. Oh well. It all worked out. I still have a lot to learn. LOL! Have a great Saturday. Please take care and stay safe!

Good morning, Gerald; I thank you for stopping by and the comments. The Canon is performing nicely. I am not to impressed with the star effect of the headlights but I can deal with that. It does have nice clarity though. It does have many bells and whistles that I may learn how to use someday. I sense a nap coming on later so I can watch some of an ice hockey game between the Avalanche and the Edmonton, Alberta Oilers tonight. Have a great Saturday. Please take care and stay safe!

Good morning, Cheryl; Thank you for tuning in and the comments. We are to live in the mid 50s for a week or so here. Maker it nice to hang the house decorations in decent temperatures. I have watched a lot of that storm back there and the Lake Effect Snows are really piling up. I'll take my arid conditions any time over that. I haven't set a firm date yet but will post here when I no longer will reply to comments on this channel. I hope all goes well with all of the activities you have lined up for December. I do have some activities of the same with most later in 2025. Please take care and stay safe!

Hey, stay away from Mike's GF. ;)

I will, Damien. If I see her. Take care and stay safe!
