Empire Builder
Doug Harrop Photography • October 25, 1992
With an EMD GP50 in the lead, Amtrak's Empire Builder train 8 overtakes Burlington Northern train 604 at Essex, Montana. Essex is a flag stop for both east and westbound Empire Builders.
Fun Fact: Essex is also home to the Glacier-Waterton hamfest, which claims to be the oldest continually running such amateur radio event in the world, beginning in 1934 and held during the third full weekend in July at an area RV park.
