The Builder on the Short Line
Down a couple hours and change, the Empire Builder heads downgrade along the CP Merriam Park Subdivision that was the Milwaukee Road's shortcut through Saint Paul. Timing was perfect with the sun dodging spotty clouds. The Empire Builder took just enough time through the Minnesota Commercial's A Yard to allow for the train and sun to show up at the same time. I will add that it took around 20 minutes for the train to travel from St. Anthony Junction to Merriam Park Junction.
