Wintry Empire Builder

All routine photo locations become new in my opinion with the new Siemens ALC-42 locomotives hauling the Empire Builder. I have shot plenty of GEs here, but seeing the Siemens locomotives shows a new era for Amtrak and passenger service in Minnesota. A duo consisting of 302 and 310 bring a routine Empire Builder over the Mississippi River lift bridge at Hastings, splitting the searchlights adjacent to the depot. So many interesting details exist at Hastings - my appreciation has grown for this spot over time.
