On Sunday, August 1, 2021, Amtrak Train 8 (Empire Builder) was a few moments from arriving at the St. Paul, Minnesota station as it passed through downtown with 4 P42DCs (179/207/130/159), a deadhead Superliner, and 2 private cars (Northern Dreams and Northern Sky), in front of a Viewliner II baggage car and 9 more Superliners. This train is actually 2 sections joined together, one from Seattle, Washington (Train 8) and the other from Portland, Oregon (Train 28), which are coupled up in Spokane, Washington for the trip to Chicago, Illinois.
