Empire builder at Deerfield
We had looked at the Metro schedules and noted that two Metro trains met at Deerfield at 3:21 PM. After both those trains departed, we read about the station history from the photos on the wall. The Meta schedule does not include Amtrak trains because they don't stop here - we were taken by surprise by the movement of the Empire Builder headed by a new Siemens ALC-42 in the new Amtrak color scheme followed by P-42 # 30 and a 9 car consist. That apparently did not train us up either because we were again not proactive in watching the signals and we missed an Amtrak Hiawatha after going back to the car prematurely.
