Calif. Zephyr in Ft. Morgan on 05DEC2024

[@danboyd8686]

Good morning Mike. That was interesting, all sleeper traffic and 2 cars to boot. And that coffee handoff was spot on! I was thinking oh oh, going too fast but you nailed it. Very nice on a frosty morning. Passengers a bit slow but they might be newbies so we’ll give them a pass this time😊. Thanks and stay well.

Good afternoon, John; Thanks for dropping by and the comments. That was a first for me with two sleepers being serviced. We practiced that handoff sometime back. I got lucky with this one. It did hit the spot as I waited for the truck to warm a bit. And was gone before I moved toward the next coffee spot. I think the 4 passengers that got on car 4 were first timers. The couple that moved to car 3 seemed to be more seasoned travelers although not seen on camera. I hope their trips are great for them. Anyway, have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care and stay safe!

Good chilly morning Mike, We have sun, but boy is it cold. Lots of wind last night. lights flickered but stayed on. Taffy was glad to have her coat on this morning. The people in the waiting room must have been asleep. Glad they didn't miss their train for not being outside when it pulled in. Have a good day, stay warm. thanks for the Zephyr. PS nice catch with the coffee.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Ginny; I thank you for stopping by and the comments. That sun isn't carrying much heat here. Lots of blue sky though. Hope that the wind didn't do too much damage back there. That is the one weather event that we have not had yet. I am sure that Taffy liked the coat for walk today. I liked mine too! LOL! That group was partying in the waiting room this morning. Think the group that got on car 4 were first timers. The couple that went to car 3 seemed to take it all in stride. I was lucky with that coffee catch. It was all gone by the time I left the parking area headed for my usual coffee drive-thru. It sure hit the spot after the chill this morning. Have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care and stay safe!

I missed that till near the end. That was a great “grab” of fresh Amtrak coffee! Good for you Mike! Mark in Iowa.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Thanks, Mark!

[@kenclifford5556]

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Ken; Thanks for dropping by and the comments. I appreciate it. Have a great Thursday back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@thecincinnatikid6227]

Good morning Mike! That was quite a grab on the fly there…..:)

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning and thank you for dialing in along with the comments. We have practiced that move a couple of times. LOL! That was a lucky relay this morning. Hope that you have a great R-Thursday. Please take care and stay safe!

[@marksmith4582]

Good Thursday morning Mike! 10 degrees and feels like 3 at 10:03 hours! We did reach 41 degrees yesterday and melted what little snow there was! We do have 40’s coming for the weekend into next week! Thank you for sharing number 5 stopping there in Fort Morgan this morning! Stay warm out your way Sir! I’m staying in my bus as much as possible today except for pit stops and helping riders on and off my bus and my dinner break! Mark in Iowa.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Mark; Thanks for stopping by and the comments today. You do have the chill in the air back there! We just made 32F. and still climbing slowly. Fortunately, no large amount of wind today. Can't blame you for keeping in the vehicle as much as possible back there. I would be doing the same. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

Hello.Nice train video👍.Thanks for sharing.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Hello and thank you for stopping by as well as the comment. I appreciate it. Please take care and stay safe over there!

[@kendufresne]

Hey, I finally found and subscribed to your new channel lol. As always, thank you for the video. That was different seeing just sleeper pax's. That was also a nice hand-off there. We got our first snowfall of the season here in Worcester. Only about 2 inches in the city, 4.5 at the airport which is higher in elevation.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Ken; I thank you for making the switch in channels. I would rather have stayed with the old one, but the programming wouldn't allow me to. That was a first for me to see all of the activity at two sleepers. I also wasn't expecting the coffee. But the handoff went well and just as we had practiced one other time. I sipped on that while putting the camera and gear away. It was gone by the time I drove across town to my usual coffee drive-thru spot. What snow I have seen here didn't stick around and was about an inch deep on the grass. The high country has gotten plenty and most of the ski areas are open for the season. Rhere has been plenty of snow all around Ft. Morgan from those storms. We are just skirted by them. Anyway, have a great Friday back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@TheFrogfather1]

That was quite a high speed coffee handover! Hope you enjoyed it.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good evening, Frogfather; I thank you for looking in and the comments. I also thank you for switching to this channel. Ken and I had practiced that move before only at a much slower pace. I was pure lucky to have done as well this time. Yep! It did taste good as I sipped on it while stowing the camera and gear. Have a great evening over there. Please take care and stay safe!

[@johnedreslin]

Glad I finally found your new channel! I have subscribed. Very impressive coffee handoff at speed.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good afternoon, John; Thank you for switching to this channel and the comments. I appreciate it. Ken and I had practice for that handoff from the lounge car. Actually, I got very lucky. LOL! It did hit the spot as I sipped it while putting the camera and gear away. It was gone by the time I left for the drive-thru coffee shop I frequent. I hope that you have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care and stay safe!

[@eLTransport-Liberec]

Excellent video my friend. I like Your work so much. Have a great weekend. ;) BIG LIKE

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning and thank you for looking in along with the comments. I appreciate it. Please take care and stay safe!

[@davidduffy308]

Good morning Mike. Always good when the Zephyr drags the sun along behind it. Free coffee on a chilly morning, also good. Amazing trains late and passengers aren't ready to board. Have a good day Mike 😊

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, David; Thanks for stopping by and the comments. That was a drag into the station, but I do understand why. That was a first for me to see passenger service at only the sleepers. The coffee did take the bite out of the chill today. That was a lucky handoff. LOL! I think the group that got into car 4 were first timers. The couple that went to car 3 seemed to know the routine. Anyway, Dana wasn't too happy. Have a great Thursday up there. Plese take care and stay safe!

[@benedmonson3445]

Good morning Mike from 34 cold sunny mid Tenn. This is the high for the day. Hope you enjoyed that good Amtrak coffee on the fly. Rather unusual for that much sleeper car activity and no coach.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Ben; Thank you for tuning in as well as the comments. That is a BRRR temp back there. We just hit 32 F. here. A cold front dropped thru here about two hours before the Zephyr arrived. Made my morning walk of the platform a bit chillier than I am used to. That's why I didn't fumble the coffee relay today. LOL! That did hit the spot for warming up this morning. Theat all sleeper car activity was a first for me. I don't recall seeing that before. Made it interesting though. I hope that you have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@thomasschlegel7811]

Thanks for the Fort Morgan sunrise Zephyr Mike. Helped me get going on a grey and overcast morning in San Diego.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Thomas; I thank you for dropping by and the comments. I appreciate it. Hope the morning has picked up out there. Please take care and stay safe!

[@geraldjones8032]

Good morning Mike. Passenger slow this morning. All sleeper car passengers. That was a pretty sunrise this morning. I bet that coffee tasted good, on this cold morning. Enjoyed the video this morning. Have a great day and be safe.😊😊😊😊😊

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Gerald; Thanks for dialing in and the comments. That was a first for me to have just the sleepers busy. That coffee tasted quite good this morning. Out wind was from the east this morning and had a bite to it. I had finished that by the time I got to my usual coffee stop. I was lucky I didn't drop that as they accelerated out of town. Have a great Thursday down there. Please take care and stay safe!

[@jamesburnside3023]

Good evening Mike well done video Cheers my friend

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Thank you, James. I thought I'd answered this not long after you sent it. Ph well. I must have toggled the wrong button. Oh well. Have a great Friday up there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@warrenlind2005]

Nice catch Mike!

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Warren; Thanks for tuning in and the comment. I appreciate it. Please take care and stay safe!

[@Ric-Rac_Mankato]

Mike nicely done grabbing the coffee while the train was speeding past 👍

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning, Ric-Rac_Mankato; Thank you for dialing in as well as the comments. I got real lucky with that catch. The coffee was good. Have a great Friday. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@carolynsteed3649]

Good afternoon Sir Hope you've had a wonderful day.I've had trouble with my phone & could not text, thats the reason for the wave & such No roosters? Anyway, may your dad be blessed & I'm so thankful for you. Owe👋😉💥🙏🏻😎

[@carolynsteed3649]

I'm sure everyday with JESUS is a blessing for your dad.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good evening, Carolyn; I thank you for tuning in and the comments. Saddened your eye about your eye troubles. And the phone woes. Nope. I haven't heard ant of the roosters lately. I think they are of the fair-weather breed. LOL! It was a good day here. Ample coffee. Good friends, and plenty of sunshine although it did stay cooler than expected. Oh well. It is almost the last of Autumn. Have a great evening down there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe! 🤓👋👌👌👍

[@roberthansen2008]

Yeah good afternoon Mike I'm just trying to get my KZbin app to do the algorithm to come over to this channel instead of the other one. Still trying to train it. Anyhow yeah I would hope that those people wouldn't hang out in the waiting room especially if you know the trains coming.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good evening, Robert; Thank you for dropping by and the comments. I am sure you will get it worked out. You may have to delete the other channel from your favorites to make that happen. I'm just grasping at straws there. Have a great evening back there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!

[@carolynsteed3649]

I meant to say day, sorry.My eyes.😪

[@greatnorthern930]

Amtrak needs to put you on the payroll, 2nd, the Bronco's should look at you with the handoff you took.

[@Mikeinmorgan]

Good morning and thank you for dialing in and the comments. I appreciate it. I tried to join AMTRAK when I retired from the Navy. They did send me the form letter that stated: "Don't call us, we'll call you". Oh well. I get to see them daily now and then go drink coffee with Marne and the guys. As for the coffee relay catch, we had practiced that before. LOL! I think the Brono will get along better without me. LOL! Have a great Thursday. Please take care and stay safe!
