Amtrak’s New Borealis Train 1333 & 1340| May 2024

A new Amtrak train has finally debuted. This is the Borealis that runs from Saint Paul to Chicago and vice versa. The Empire Builder does run this route but this added train will give more passenger device options and more daylight options with the westbound Empire Builder typically arriving in Saint Paul at night. Also seen on this trail is the new phase 7 paint scheme that’s showing up on the old P42DCs that Amtrak still has which is nice to see compared to way less attractive ALC-42s. Enjoy! Being an Amtrak fan this is great to have a new train close to home, that’s runs at more favorable times.
