The Calif. Zephyr in Ft. Morgan on 14DEC2023 with lots of station dwell time.

Today's California Zephyr #5 arrived in Fort Morgan at 0506 MST (long station dwell time here for removal of disruptive passenger with train departing 15 min. late). Ollie had P42s #188 & #168 to power the snow and ice covered 8-car train to a stop with car 7 to the west station platform for passenger service to a family of 5 and 3 other passengers. Meanwhile, Antonio (yes, he was back!) was busy with a passenger in car 8 who was considered disruptive and to be removed from the train for drug use while onboard. So, there was a dwell time until the local police arrived to remove the person.
It was good to chat with Antiono again. He said he will be working both sides from Denver.
It was a good thing that communications was slow in getting the police here as it took almost all that time for the family to get their luggage to the car and onboard.
The local law enforcement did appear, and the person was escorted off the train and was being held for transport. As that happened, Antonio gave the high ball to Ollie who released the brakes and ramped up the amps to take the train west towards Union Station in Denver.
This is a long video today. Please feel free to skip over the long and dull parts while checking out the slush and ice-covered train.
Thanks to the operating crew for the greetings and chat.
Everyone please stay safe!

Yes. That is a coating of snow over frozen rain on the ground here. Somewhere between a skiff and a trace in amount.
