  4. I took this photo of the USA Great Northern 2584 engine during our 2013 trip across North America.
    I have been convinced that the photo was taken in Minot North Dakota. Research shows that I have developed a false memory.This loco has been in Havre, Montana since 1963. I don't know why Ive been remembering it so wrongly!

  6. A slightly weird piece in the Star Tribune about the possibility of more trains on the #Amtrak #EmpireBuilder / #Borealis route to Chicago. It will take more time to do than us peons would like to see, but more service is being studied strib.gift/0wies44yf

    RT @ferrocastor The thoughtful crew on today’s #Amtrak #EmpireBuilder 7 from CHI printed out the train’s #timetable from the Rail Passengers website. A shame Amtrak has to rely on an advocacy group for printouts of its own schedules, but thanks to RPA volunteers for keeping these up to date.

  8. #Breakfast 🍳 in the nicely decorated #EmpireBuilder 🇺🇸 @diningcar as we pass (and pass, and pass) through the Great Plains of North Dakota. Communal seating in the Diner means you quickly make new friends, like the guy taking the train twice a month or the “first-timer” on #Amtrak. Great company and great fun!p

  14. #18xx, plus #EmpireBuilder (Crayon Rails), plus #AgeOfSteam in a tasty real time digital form = #RailroadTycoon
    It has such a satisfying gameplay loop that still hasn't really had anything like it since Railroad Tycoon 3
    Save us #SidMeier, you're our only hope.

  15. @ingalls Love going by train! My most frequent trip is Amtrak Cascades Olympia/Seattle, with occasional forays to PDX or farther north, almost always with my bike. I need to take the Empire Builder one of these days. Carrying my own coffee and water on without going through security screening feels so good every time. The comfy seats. Ability to stretch my legs in an aisle with some width. Bathrooms with room! #Trains #Amtrak #BikeTooter #BikesAndTrains #EmpireBuilder #AmtrakCascades #travel

  16. AMTRAK USA RAIL PASS

    I'm taking a few train trips in December. I'll be on the Empire Builder, the Capitol Builder & the Pennsylvanian. I'll have a coach seat. Been watching YouTube videos on these train segments. Some of mine are several days long. Any advice on dining, grooming, sleeping, observing, exercising, coping would be appreciated.

  21. The Coast Starlight is, to my reckoning at least, one of the Big Five Amtrak routes for long distance travel, along with the #SouthwestChief (Chicago -- Albuquerque -- LA), #CaliforniaZephyr (Chicago -- Denver -- Oakland), #EmpireBuilder (Chicago -- Spokane -- Portland | Seattle), and #SunsetLimited (New Orleans -- Houston -- Los Angeles). The Starlight also covers some of the same ground as the #PacificSurfliner (San Diego -- LA -- San Luis Obispo), the #CapitolCorridor (Auburn -- Sacramento -- Oakland -- San Jose) and the Amtrak Cascades (Vancouver Canada -- Seattle -- Portland -- Eugene).
