Although if the train is running late, the stops may be abbreviated to try to make up time - I was once the only passenger boarding a CZ at Fraser when it was about 2½ hours late, and the stop was just long enough for me to get on the train (less than 30 seconds).
Because Fraser/Winter Park is not a crew change or servicing stop it's more likely to be curtailed when time is needed. On the other hand it's the most likely for snowball tossing when there is time.
