Good morning, Mike; Thanks for stopping by and the comments. I used to work in those temps. Now I can watch from the pickup cab. I'll still have all the layers piled on. And coffee waiting at the end. LOL! Have a great Wednesday. Please take care and stay safe!
Good day, Lance; I thank you for dialing in from hot and humid Australia. Yep. We would like some of that here. LOL! Have a great day over there. Please take care, stay cool, and safe!
Good morning, Norman; Thank you for stopping by along with the comments. I was caught off guard as he is Amish. With a phone and camera. I know they are using them away from home. Not the first I have seen. That he walked to the head end also was interesting. Both Dana and Olie were taken by that. Another rail fan is good! Hope that you have a great Wednesday. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning Mike from 22 sunny mid Tenn heading to 42. What a nice stop, good conversation, Ollie cooperative with horn toots, Dana a friendly AC, just good train activity.
Good morning, Ben; Thank you for dialing in and the comments. It is 23 F. at 0945 local. I am hoping for higher temps in a bit so I can clear some snow and ice from where I park the pickup in front of the house. The prognosticators of weather are spouting snow to be along with the incoming Siberian Heavy Hauler coming thru. Sounds as though most of the country gets to enjoy this one. It was neat to have a chance to chat with Dana again. It has been a few years. And always nice to know the Ollie is in the cab. I did like him watching that young man today. Security and safety are foremost. Their driver appeared about 5 minutes after the Zephyr departed. That was going to be a long haul in a small vehicle for them. Anyway, have a great Wednesday back there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good afternoon, Ken; I thank you for dialing in and the comments. That coffee did help warm the body up. I was not expecting the station stop to last s long as it did. Anyway, have a great afternoon and evening back there. Please take care and stay safe!
Hi Mike-Happy Hump Day-those 3 fellows that got off looked like triplets,nice of you to tell that kid to warm up I'm the station,welp thanks for your time & stay warm, Jeb
Good afternoon, Jeb; I thank you for dialing in along with the comments. They were all Amish waiting for their driver to take them to South Dkota area and the large enclave they have there. I was struck that he wanted pics of the train. Not a normal thing for them yet it was nice of him to do that. Teir driver showed about 5 minutes after I wrapped u and put the camera away. Trying to get the homestead ready for the "Siberian Heavy Hauler" bringing those below zero temperatures and snow in here. Almost ready. Have a great afternoon and evening. Please tyke care and stay safe!
Hi Mike .I wasnt paying attention to the news or the weather til I heard him say the next round is Siberian air, Russi.Thank you for #5.Have a blessed day.😁💥😎💚💛💜
Good morning, Carolyn; I thank you for dropping by and the comments. It is nice to hear from you again. Yep. The weather guessers are pushing this "Siberian Heavy Hauler" to impact most of the country over the weekend and beyond. I am ready but will be taking the video from the pickup cab where the heater will be running full out. I tried to pick up the rooster that was out and about this morning. Sadly, I missed him crowing. Have a great Wednesday down there. Please take care and stay safe! 🤓🥶😎👋👋👌👍👍🐓
Good Wednesday morning Mike! A few clouds and 4 degrees here but should get to 24 degrees after while. That’s a first time to see Dana a new AC. Maybe another “Kelly” in the works. Maybe not. Regardless. Someone decides to snap pictures near the head end. Like you said, Ollie kept his eyes on them! Another good crew! Have a great Wednesday out your way Sir! I definitely will here! Mark in Iowa.
Good morning, Mark; I thank you for tuning in along with the comments. I am hoping to ee above freezing here soon. 23 F. at 0930 local. Need to clear the ice from around the parking spot here at home. The city street dept. decided to plow in the snow around where I park and not move it to the center of the streets. Must be from the Long Island and New Jersey areas where the schools of thought are to make it near impossible to move a personal vehicle after a snow fall. LOL! Dana has worked the Zephyr for many years. He is one of the more senior conductors. A nice guy as they all are. It had been a while since I had a chance to chat with him. Oh well. Ollie was watching as well. Security and safety above all. Hope it warms up back there. Please take care, stay warm and safe!
Good morning Mike. It’s a brisk one there. Still holding around freezing here, been like that for a few weeks. Nice stop today, double double toot from Ollie today. Crew all in good cheer and Mike too. Thanks, stay warm and well.
Good afternoon, Dan; Thank you for stopping by and the comments. We are struggling to make that freezing mark. Maybe later this afternoon. It was a great stop and a chance to chat today. Have not had that opportunity for some time. Ollie was mindful of the young man wanting to get a picture and all. It was also neat that he was watching from the cab. Security and safety come first. Anyway, I did enjoy that stop. Not thrilled with the incoming weather event but I'll survive it as well. May be taking the video from the cab of the pickup in the really cold. Have a great afternoon and evening. Please take care and stay safe back there!
Good morning Mike: Nice video this morning. Train crew in good spirits.Don’t get many morning where they have wait on time. Looks cold there this morning. 17 degrees in ABQ this morning. I will stay inside nice and warm. Take care and enjoy your day. Be safe and stay warm.😊😊😊😊😊
Good morning, Gerald; I thank you for stopping by and the comments. As I told Dana, they were kicking along out east of here. I was surprised to see them in here that early. It did work out nicely as well. We weren't too much lower in temperature than what you had down there. It is now 23 F. and climbing. I have to wait a while before I try to clear ice and snow from where I stand to get into the pickup. Getting kinda slick right there. The coffee here was tasty and warming. Hope yours was the same. Have a great Wednesday down there. Please take care, stay warm, and safe!
I’ve wondered for some time why they don’t replace what seems to be burned out lights along the track side of the depot. A little illumination for passengers and those waiting would seem to be appropriate, together with extending the curb and asphalt toward the north. Getting on/off the train where there is only gravel is not optimal service. Don’t mean to be just a complainer; I love Amtrak.
Good morning, megindenver; I thank you for tuning in and the comments. I have been shooting video there for over 9 years and the exterior lighting was replaced and working until about 3 years ago. The new LED lighting over the waiting room door hasn't worked since it was installed. The two exterior lights on the west end of the building need new lamps to make it better. The custodial contractor doesn't have that in the contract with AMTRAK. They are more concerned with starting new service instead of repairing what they have. AMTRAK owns the depot and the surrounding structure (platform and parking). Sadly, they don't want to put repair money into what they have now. The same will hold true to the "new and improved" transit they wish to start north to south along the front range. Nice idea but they don't keep up what they have now. How will the communities react along the front rang to that in their communities? HMMMMM. Anyway, I hope that you have a great Wednesday up there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good morning, David; I thank you for looking in and the comment. I may have to break out the swim trunks later if it gets as warm as predicted. LOL! Have a great Wednesday up there. Plese take care and stay safe!
Another "Brisk" morning, Mike and from what you commented on, more and "Brisker" are on the way. Good video this am - enjoyable conversation. You stay safe, be careful and prepare to double-up on the sweaters, scarfs, mittens, etc. Be well.
Good morning, Jim; Thanks for dropping by and the comments. Yep. we have been promised a weekend and beyond with the Siberian Heavy Hauler bringing below zero temps to the area. Maybe some more snow as well. I'll be taking video from the pickup cab if it is that bad. Anyway, I hope that you have a great Wednesday back there. Please take care and stay safe!
Good evening, John; Thank you for stopping by and the comments. I do remember reading all of that on a news article from the daily blab (shipboard newspaper) aboard USS Independence (CV62). There was also an editorial piece in the European "Stars and Stripes". It's like many things I have not forgotten. Just laid them on the back burners. Thanks for bringing them up again. Please take care and stay safe!
Good evening Mike looks like not to bad a morning for you today Catch you tomorrow, we are getting a weird spell right now -1 to 4 today and tomorrow, then back to normal -23 by Friday with snow.
Good evening, James; Thak you for dialing in and the comments. It looks as though you are getting a taste of that Siberian air mass coming thru. We are getting set up for that here and throw a F. behind the -23 you wrote. We are to be that cold Monday morning. down here. Possible 5 incher so new snow and heavy on the winds come Monday. Sounds like winter to me. LOL! Hope that you have a great Thursday up there.\Please take care, stay bundled up, and safe!
Good morning Mike. If it gets dangerous cold stay home and drink coffee. Stay safe sir.
Good morning, Mike; Thanks for stopping by and the comments. I used to work in those temps. Now I can watch from the pickup cab. I'll still have all the layers piled on. And coffee waiting at the end. LOL!
Have a great Wednesday.
Please take care and stay safe!
Morning mike, sending some heat your way,, 38 c over here, thanks for standing out in the cold for us, cheers mate
Good day, Lance; I thank you for dialing in from hot and humid Australia. Yep. We would like some of that here. LOL!
Have a great day over there. Please take care, stay cool, and safe!
A nice long stop today ; but too cold ! I was happy to see a young person interested enough to take a picture of the head end !
