Remarks & Notes

In Minot on a pleasant day (!) I caught the "Empire Builder" but I've forgotten which direction it was going. An even better catch was a visit to the tower at the SOO line crossing.

The wide open spaces of the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma have little service - one train for the entire state. South Dakota has none.

This train, which runs between Chicago and Seattle and Portland, takes its name from James J. Hill, who founded the Great Northern Railroad and extended it from Minnesota to the Pacific Coast.

Railroading in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, basically anything but the 2000s.
