Thanks for watching. This was a rare dual train as the westbound builder was turned around because of snow avalanche danger, so they combined it with the eastbound train

Can’t wait to see them on the coast starlight

We have enjoyed Amtrak choosing the Builder that passes me everyday to break them in on.

[@DuplainvilleUSA]

Epic catch of Amtrak Empire Builder's #8/28 & #7/27 heading to Chicago.

[@raildogproductions]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I believe Chargers 309 & 314 were added since BNSF's three engine rule was back on the Amtrak Empire Builder route since temps were in the negatives. Plus Amtrak already had Charger 310 to train & familiarize the Amtrak Coast Starlight crews before it left on Amtrak #8 for Chicago & Charger 306 took over and went down to Portland to train & familiarize the crews. Once after the crews have been trained in Portland Charger 306 will head to Sacramento, San Luis Obispo & then finally Los Angeles to train & familiarize the charger operations on the Amtrak Coast Starlight route.

Thanks for the info

I wonder why the charger has cool white headlights while the ditch lights are warm?

[@thesquirrelthatwentupurass7920]

Why the 'mega' train?

[@raildogproductions]

The westbound Builder #7 was not allowed to continue west because of avalanche danger. The next day both eastbound and westbound Builders were cancelled.

smart move to ask for permission to go on private property
