I was on my way home from the comp usa store in the 'hood today,
on Devon av., and I realized it was 2:25, and the "Builder" was due to
go by in a couple minutes bound for Marias Pass and Spokane tomorrow
night, so I stopped at the Edgebrook station and took these pix at about 2:28 PM.

RE: Empire Builder

Hold the phone, "comp usa store in the 'hood", I thought the only one up there was at Central & Touhy, you saying there's one closer to you?Cool pics, but what's with the freight cars dragging behind the passenger train? That SOP for that run?

RE: Empire Builder

I was on the #7 and the #11 last week. P42 #200 had to be switched out as the trailing unit on the Coast Starlight's consist at Portland for the #66 (which had brought in the #27 that morning).That bit of switching held us up for about 30 minutes, so I am glad to see that the 200 actually got used! I guess perhaps the 66 was bound for maintenence work at LAX.Tim Frost

>Every day. That's the Amtrak Express freight service, a number of Amtrak trains pull these now. Usually it's just the express box cars but they also pull tractor trailors also somtimes like the above shot.
