Amtrak Empire Builder 75th Anniversary

Chicago Illinois to Seattle Washington

June 11 to June 13, 2004

By Richard Elgenson, RailNews Network

The railroad winds along with the topography and heads into a horseshoe curve. In the distance, I saw the light of an oncoming train.  I could also see the signals as we passed them and there was a green light for an eastbound train.

   

   

   

   

       

Visible above the train is the remains of a snow shed, followed by a series of snowsheds.

   

   

       

The light level was going down.  Lower right, note the red signal light reflecting on the Superliner car.
