The final of the four stops is the small town of Fort Morgan, CO, located about 80 miles east of Denver. The town has a population of roughly 11,500 people, and the station stop is generally completed in two minutes or less. Here, in the early morning sun, the 90 minute late Zephyr tries to expedite the stop. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is the eastbound California Zephyr heading into Fort Morgan right around noon. Typically, the Zephyr hits this stretch of track between 9 and 10 o'clock at night, so catching it in daylight is very rare.

This was one of the experiments and it is a one-of-a-kind. It is often referred to as the "vomit-bonnet" because many railfans do not care for the "copy-cat" of the famous warbonnet.
