It's around 3:15pm on June 11, 2021 on a sunny day, perfect for a different take on the Empire Builder as it navigates through Saint Paul down seven hours. Here it works through the Minnesota Commercial yard in the Midway neighborhood.

I live in an unincorporated area of Los Angeles, so I guess you could say my "City Hall" is the somewhat iconic L.A. City Hall, downtown. It's a gleaming white 27 story skyscraper built in 1927 and has been the subject of many of my photographs.
Most local City Halls, the Beach Cities, Torrance, the Peninsula, all are nondescript single or two story flat civic buildings from the 50s and 60s. (Torrance has three stories.) Lots of the surrounding cities have had multiple civic centers throughout their history, and perhaps some of the City Halls buildings have been magnificent. (One of Long Beach's many City Halls [from 1923] was pretty neat and the present glass walled Civic Center is really nice too.)
Nothing out west here in my home vicinity comes close to matching the grandeur of THIS City Hall, that of Gloucester, MA, a somewhat small fishing town known as America's oldest seaport.
The town was settled in 1642. This City Hall building was constructed in 1870. I saw the tower from across the bay when I was looking to take photos of the lighthouse. It started raining pretty badly, and the road to the lighthouse stated I needed to get a permit to travel it, so I turned around and went back into town. The rain stopped, the sun came out, and I drove up to the City Center to take some photos.
From Wikipedia:
"Gloucester City Hall...was built in 1870 and dedicated the following year. ...Built to a design by Bryant and Rogers, it is a two-story Second Empire brick building. Each of the rectangular building's four corners is topped by its own pyramidal roof structure, above which is a small rectangular cupola with its own roof. Centered on the front elevation is a clock tower that is brick in its lower levels, and decorated wood above, ending in a copper dome.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973."

One of the newer buildings in Łódź. I associate it with the empire cruiser (from the star wars saga) but this is only the front of the Łódź Fabryczna (Lodz Factory) railway station building.
LS&I 7-Tilden hauls its first loaded pellet train of the day through Empire Junction to be handed off to a 7-Hill at Eagle Mills.
One of the newest Siemens ALC-42s leads the Empire Builder off the BNSF Midway Subdivision and onto Minnesota Commercial trackage at St. Anthony Junction.
EMPIRE STATE BUILDING
Es uno de los rascacielos más importantes de Nueva York (EEUU), situado en la Quinta Avenida, entre las calles 33 y 34. Su construcción finalizó en 1931 y durante muchos años fue el edificio más alto del mundo. Se le suele considerar como el rascacielos más destacado de la arquitectura estadounidense, esencialmente por su perfil escalonado y proporciones elegantes.
El Empire State es un edificio de oficinas de 102 pisos, coronado por varios miradores y una antena de televisión y radio añadida en 1951. En su construcción se utilizaron bloques prefabricados, y durante este proceso, que duró menos de dos años, se consiguieron algunos logros que aún no han sido superados: en una semana se erigieron 14 pisos y medio.
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.
Me: What do you think of the view up here?
Quinne: It's great but can we go?
Me: Why?
Quinne: Because the view isn't going to be so great if I'm in pieces.
Me: Trust me you aren't going anywhere.
Quinne: Ok...I guess I can stay for a few more minutes.

My first Star Wars build, created for a contest on Lego Ideas...which was just an excuse I came up with to procrastinate on my other builds and fulfill my dream of building something with Mimban Stormtroopers! They're so cool!
Head on over to Eurobricks for more in depth images.
This build will be on public display at Brickworld Chicago 2019
