The Calif. Zephyr in Ft. Morgan on 11JULY2024 Squeaking by the work train.

This California Zephyr #5 arrived in Fort Morgan at 1232 MDT (6 Hrs. & 44 Min. late due to a derailment in Illinois yesterday. The Zephyr had P42s #198 & #170 providing the power to the 8-car consist.
The headlight can be seem as they approach East Ft. Morgan CP where they are shunted onto the siding or "2 Track" for the run around of the work train.
The Zephyr stopped briefly at the Main St. crossing. There was no station work for #5 today and the high ball was given. The head end repeated and brought the Zephyr back up to 10 mph limit as it proceeded west and back onto the main line at west Ft. Morgan CP. Its next stop will be Union Station in Denver.
Thanks to the operating crew for the greetings.
Everyone please stay cool and safe!
This was the second time I have seen the Zephyr use the 2 Track in the time I have been covering the Zephyr station stops.

Temp. 92 F. Feels like 99F.
Humidity jumped back up to 18%.
