Eastbound just passed us at Monmouth must be the rocker delay from yesterday.
Hi. I was on that 6. South side is good for the Colorado River. Look for rafters that moon and spank themselves.

Living in the Appalachian mountains I have forgotten how flat God's country is. To see the Dekalb winged ear signs bring s a smile. Two of the summers.of my wasted youth were working for this great company.

As we get to Mt. Pleasant passed some seed corn fields -speak of Dekalb. For the uninitiated you can spot seed corn very easily. It's the green stuff with no tassel. About six minutes late by my watch.
I think you're on the correct side for the climb up the mountains (right side westbound).

The best views of the canyons and River are from the SSL - where you see both sides! Grab a seat in the SSL in DEN.
I prefer the railfan window.

Finally got service in Fort Morgan. Looks like we are forty minuses late. First class SC in Robert maybe in the top ten all time. Angela fairly good in the dining car last night. She Who Must Be Obeyed had very good Salmon. I couldn't have cooked a better steak.
Heard some scuttle butt we have a problem. Just overhead staff radio we had a death on board. Will try to get scanner appm working to verify.
