Builder of Empires

The westbound empire builder heads west through the countryside east of Wyocena, Wisconsin with AMTK 200 and 503 for power.

 

This would turn out to be my last good shot of the day. I waited around for a 281 I knew was about 30 minutes behind Amtrak. I set up at this same location when I heard a horn at the crossing just to the east. So I hopped out of the car and waited. And waited, and waited. Okay, so something's wrong. As I got back in the problem became apparent - 281 had lost it's air, and right in the way of a late #8 no less. With the sun soon to sink behind some clouds and no sign of a solution to the air problems in sight, I called it a day.
