Good morning, kablradio579; Thanks for dropping by and the comments. I am hoping to start posting new videos very soon. My new equipment should be delivered today. I am still frustrated by Sony shutting down my cameras. I have learned that I wasn't the only victim. Oh well. I hope that you have a great Friday and Happy Thanksgvng as well! Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning, Jean; Thank you for dialing in along with the comments. That trip I have come close to with a ride from NYC thru Chicago to Fort Morgan just over year ago. I'm ready to join the train again for another tour of the US by rail. Please take care and stay safe!
Good evening, Carolyn; I thank you for stopping by and the comments. It has been a good day here. Still way too warm but I think that is about to change. Ric rumbled them in this morning. And that horn music was delightful coming in as well as on departure. Anyway, have a great evening and a super Tuesday. Please take care and stay safe!
Good Morning, Mike. You just know it's going to be an alright day when you hear Ric's familiar greeting - "Awll right!" Both of us are going to top out the day at 74°. I shudder to think of days of 20°. Stay safe & be careful. Enjoy the day 'cause things are AWLL RIGHT!!
Good morning, Jim; Thak you for dialing in as well as the comments. It is a nice way to start a Monday. A nice wave from the cab and a known voice via the scanner. We will get another day of summer weather "the warm before the storm" and then drop to much more seasonal temperatures. They are hedging the bets on moisture. I am of the opinion we will not get any. Oh well. Have a great day back there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good Monday morning Mike! Sunny and 54 degrees here at 10:02 AM. Should be 71 out here today! 70’s tomorrow and low 80’s with rain on Wednesday. I hope so as we’re still quite dry here! Have a great Monday out your way Sir! I am over here! Mark in Iowa.
Good morning, Mark; Thanks for dropping by and the comments. I rather doubt we will see any moisture here. But a return to autumn weather temperatures is long overdue. I'm ready as are the parka and "Grabber" heat packs for the mittens. Have a great Monday back there. Please take care and stay safe!
Well, if all goes according to schedule this train should arrive in Martinez. CA ( station nearest my home) around 4 pm (1600) PDT tomorrow (Tuesday) Weather should be partly cloudy, temp in the 70s. Wed and Thur the Zephyr may arrive in some rain. I'll keep you posted as weather appears to be changing across the country. Thanks Mike Ted
Good evening, Ted; I thank you for stopping by along with the comments. I have not checked as to how they are doing west of Grand Junction. It was cloudy almost all day here. The clouds parted for about an hour before sunset. I did get to 72 F. today. Not as warm tomorrow and fire weather warnings already posted for tomorrow with the combo of high winds and very low humidity. Little to no moisture here with the incoming weather front. Oh well. We will see what develops. Have a great evening out there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning Mike: Nice conversation with the crew this morning. That so neat that they take the time. Love Rick hello. You have a great rapport with the crew. Looking at last night’s 6 all most a female crew. Time for breakfast and coffee. Have a great day and be safe.
Good morning, Gerald; I thank you for stopping by as well as the comments. It was a nice gesture to have a quick chat this morning. Even with the errant traveler. He was nice enough to get back aboard quickly. I've finished the coffee for today. Have to work out the caffeine prior to lunch. LOL! Have a great Monday down there. Please take care and stay safe!
Mornin Mike-few folks departing & 1 on--thought that fellow might be sleep walkin,nice conductor--Jack Frost is out & about-have good Monday Mike & Thanks Much!, Jeb 😉
Good morning, Jeb; Thank you for stopping by as well as the comments. I think that fella was looking to inhale sharply on a cigarette. At least he didn't balk at being told to reboard the car. I have seen several who wanted to argue with the conductors. Mandy threw one from the train for doing that not too long ago. I welcome Jack Frost and he's late to the party! LOL! It is about time for autumn temperatures to get here. My parka and "Grabber" hand warmer packs are ready for wear. Anyway, Have a great Monday. Please take care and stay safe!
Good evening, Lou; I thank you for dropping by and the comments. It was nice to have a bit of chat time this morning. I may have tomake the camera mobile and move to where the A/C can protect his open door. Hope that you have a great evening back there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning Mike from 51 mid Tenn. Good Amtrak talk this morning only to be interrupted by a stray passenger who just had to jump off only to be rounded up by conductor & herded back on. Whatever his reasoning it never had a chance. Drama, drama at the depot. Now to hunt up some good hot coffee to get this day started right.
Good morning, Ben; Thanks for tuning in along with the comments. Yep. Just had to cause something. LOL! There's always something brewing at the depot. At least that fella turned quickly back. Have a great Monday back there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning, Ken; I thank you for stopping by as well as the comments. They weren't slowed down by much out there today. Glad I went to the depot a bit early. Have a great Monday back there in the valley. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning, Norman; Thank you for tuning in as well as the comments. I appreciate it. I would like to see some autumn type weather. That may get here on Wednesday or Thursday. At least the temperatures will. Anyway, have a great Monday. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning, jmaxxofficial; I thank you for dropping by along with the comment. There wasn't much movement in the car windows today. I hope they had a good trip. Anyway, have a great Monday back there. Please take care and stay safe!
Yeah good morning Mike I see that train got in early today. I wonder how early it could even get there? You know that one guy I'm glad that he got back on otherwise he would have had to have waited a day. So yeah it's supposed to start cooling down after Wednesday here. Stay safe out there.
Good afternoon, Robert; Thanks for dialing in and the comments. The Zephyr has been arriving here on time or a few minutes early recently. The exception was yesterday. But that time was made up between here and Denver. At least he listened to the A/C and stepped back aboard. Yep. He could have been left here. That's happened before. Another reason to give up the cigarettes. I hope that you have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning Mike jensen My Name is Damien I heard the train to be pulling in fort Morgan and I saw a/c working on the train And The next time you see mandy Tell Mandy Damien Says Hi

Great to see your videos again. They've become oddly habit forming and were much missed.
Another great one, Mike! Happy early Thanksgiving to you and yours!

I’ve taken Amtrak several times from NY to CA. It’s been at least 15 years since my last trip though. I hope I can do it again someday.

Good afternoon, Robert; Thanks for dialing in and the comments. The Zephyr has been arriving here on time or a few minutes early recently. The exception was yesterday. But that time was made up between here and Denver.
At least he listened to the A/C and stepped back aboard. Yep. He could have been left here. That's happened before. Another reason to give up the cigarettes.
I hope that you have a great afternoon and evening back there.
Please take care and stay safe!
