Amtrak's Chicago bound Empire Builder nears the summit of Marias Pass hauled by ALC-42's No. 331 & 319.
A builder at work in a Rome backstreet. I liked the way the sun was catching the wooden posts, it made them glow in almost a religious way.
For an account of a few interesting days in Rome:
Amtrak’s westbound Empire Builder passes through a frozen scene as the blue hour descends on Brookfield after one of Wisconsin’s winter ice/snowstorms in February 1983. The two EMD F40PHs have the train at track speed as they pass the north edge of Wirth Park.
BNSF 8219 leads the Empire Builder down the Milwaukee Road-built Short Line at Merriam Park seen here crossing the bridge passing over I-94 and Fairview Avenue.
Amtrak 12, 130 and 821 lead Train #8 the eastbound "Empire Builder" from Seattle to Chicago away from Browning, Montana.

The Empire Builder exits Saint Paul down an hour off the schedule. A pair of GE P42DCs make this train appear like an Empire Builder before the inception of the Siemens ALC-42s.
The Empire Builder is running on-time into the Twin Cities this morning coming through the northeastern quadrant of Minneapolis. The tall and white elevator in the background is no longer General Mills' Purity Oats division.
It is a typical March afternoon in Oconomowoc, as I am riding along on the eastbound Milwaukee Road patrol. We are aboard GP38-2 353 with SD10 545 trailing by the former Milwaukee Road station, heading for Brownberry Ovens with airslide hoppers of flour. Amtrak's westbound Empire Builder is right on time and looking fine as they fly by the old depot.
This is a scan of one of those high quality 110 instamatic prints that I have so many of. I just bought a Kodak Slide and Scan Film Scanner for scanning those tiny 110 negatives, we'll see how it does.

The Empire Builder pulls off the mainline at St. Anthony and into the Minnesota Commercial to bridge the gap over to Merriam Park.
I think the evolution of how Amtrak crews navigate the Minnesota Commercial's series of switches is a fascinating thing and also a slow thing. I have come to expect 15-20 minutes for the Empire Builder to approach the yard, let a conductor out, and move through the yard and line the three switches. There is plenty of time to grab a photo and make it with time to another photo spot east of Merriam Park.
The Empire Builder zips over Jamaica Avenue in Cottage Grove on the CPKC River Subdivision with help from the BNSF. I don't like when freight power is on Amtrak, but I was in the area for Borealis, so why not get a shot of the Empire Builder anyway? So far, 2025 has been nothing but equipment failures and problems for both the Borealis and Empire Builder. It is unfortunate and disappointing.
A late running Empire Builder allowed us to get in position for this shot as No 8 approaches St Paul Union Depot, perhaps nicknamed SPUD? Not really sure but I did get a kick out of the initials.

Sorry guys, I’m late to the party. I had bad scheduling conflict with my daily work deadlines due to the late arrival of the mystery part by the post office service in my country.
It’s been months I haven’t got my hands to building and thanks to this competition that motivate and force me to build again :)
Though I’ll try my best in this competition, I don’t think I have time as much as my two previous IB competition to build, hope I don’t disappoint you guys :)
Thank you Guy for hosting the competition and I really hate you to put me up against Grant here!
Grant, always love and admire your build from the day I knew you when you collaborated with Eli on the cheese slope builds. Somehow I have a strong feeling I’m gonna loose here, don’t beat me up too hard my friend :P
So here is my first build in months and my first build for the competition, tomorrow I’ll post another and more will come for sure :)
My 1st build for Iron Builder vs. Grant Davis.
The part that we need to use the whole month is the Panel 4 x 4 x 13 Curved Tapered with Clip at Each End.

Amtrak locomotives 313 and 14 cruise along the Mississippi River at Dakota, Minnesota with the Empire Builder and a backwards consist that was turned around at the wye in Grand Forks. The result was a train late by around three hours which made certain sun angles more possible. I intercepted the Empire Builder at Minnieska near John Latsch State Park and grabbed an additional photo in Winona. While there, I noticed the clouds cleared the further down river one got, so it was off to Dakota. Certainly glad I made the effort. Two other parties of railfans also were on-site further up beyond the overlook. No doubt they got great photos too.
The Empire Builder sits in Minot while the morning sun begins to cast it's warm glow on the frozen landscape.
With the train arriving into town 1hr early, it gave me ample time to wander farther from the train than normal during the servicing stop (and for that fuel truck to leave).

A Grade 2 Listed Building cited as a rare well-preserved early-C20 light-industrial roadside building, clad in corrugated-iron sheets that were once commonplace and give the building its distinct character.
Here is my eighteenth build for my new Iron builder Round against David Hensel (Legonardo Davidy)
The special part is one of those swords :)
