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 white-winged chough (Corcorax melanorhamphos) is one of only two surviving members of the Australian mud-nest builders family, Corcoracidae, and is the only member of the genus Corcorax. It is native to southern and eastern Australia and is an example of convergent evolution as it is only distantly related to the European choughs that it closely resembles in shape, and for which it was named.

Die Weißflügelkrähe (Corcorax melanorhamphos) ist eines von nur zwei überlebenden Mitgliedern der australischen Schlammnestbauerfamilie Corcoracidae und ist das einzige Mitglied der Gattung Corcorax.
Es stammt aus Süd- und Ostaustralien und ist ein Beispiel für konvergente Evolution, da es nur entfernt mit den europäischen Dohlen verwandt ist, denen es in seiner Form sehr ähnlich ist und nach denen es benannt wurde.

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 warm December air welcomes Amtrak's eastbound Empire Builder, as they hustle out of the Reeseville Marsh basin at Richwood, with the forty year anniversary locomotive leading the way.

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.
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.

I've not been able to get out snapping as much as I'd like the last few weeks so thought I'd have a look through the archives to see what's there.
This shot was taken from the very top of St Paul's cathederal, looking east to the City Of London. Then, as now, there are cranes everywhere, and it's almost impossible to look across any bit of London skyline and not see one these days.
This is an 11 shot panorama merged together in Photoshop to give a final image of 14,669 x 6,653.
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.

A classic view of the lighthouse beyond the cliffs. This is one of the best places imaginable for watching the sunset. A short walk visiting Neist Point, most western point on Skye. This spectacular headland is a good place for bird, dolphins and whale-watchers. The made-up path ends just before the lighthouse and cottages, where are on fenced private land. The complex was built in 1909 at a cost of £4,350 - the engineer being David A Stevenson of the famous Stevenson family of lighthouse builders. A place to look out for breaching fins and blows in the sea. Have a look at the walking route.
Photo taken on a boggy path northwest from the car park for about half a kilometre. The stormy wind up here almost blew my camera from my neck!!!
Een bekend en prachtig uitzicht op de vuurtoren achter de rotsen. Dit is een van de mooiste plekken van Skye om de zonsondergang te bekijken. Een wandeling van een uur brengt je naar het meest westelijk punt van Skye: Neist point. Een goeie plek om uit te kijken naar vogels, dolfijnen en walvissen. Een klein wandelpad brengt je naar het vuurtoren complex. Het vuurtoren complex was destijds in 1909 gebouwd voor maar £4,350 door David A Stevenson. Een bekende familienaam die meer vuurtorens bouwden. Zie hier de wandelkaart.

The White Swan Building was built in 1925 Buchanan & Builders by and designed by Thomas S. Byrne & Company. It was originally known as the Waples-Platter Coffee Roaster Building.
The Waples-Platter Coffee Roaster stands as an excellent example of an early twentieth century industrial facility in Dallas. This was the third and grandest of the company's coffee roasters, and this facility was the last to remain.
In 1978, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. This building is located near the West End on Lamar Street in Downtown Dallas.
While Carl was deathly afraid of girls, ghosts were another matter entirely.
Built as my final Iron Builder entry and for the MocAthalon on MOCpages.

Here is my eighteenth build for my new Iron builder Round against David Hensel (Legonardo Davidy)
The special part is one of those swords :)
In a swirl of smoke and snow, Amtrak's 'Empire Builder' makes its final dash into Chicago on Christmas Eve, 2017. It's running roughly on time as it crosses the icy creek that is the North Branch of the Chicago River, in the forest preserve near Edgebrook on the extreme northwest side of the city.
Ilyas Bhai is a very simple man ,he was into garments and switched over to construction , he is a member of the Behrampada Rehabilitation Committee , and is reconstructing houses that were devastated in the fire, along with his friends and well wishers he donated money clothing and a new hope to the helpless and homeless people of Behrampada.
He is a very close friend of Shabbir Bhai Corporator..
He too many years back was a victim in a fire and to save his life had jumped from the third floor , he broke his spinal column , was in hospital for several months , so he knows the trauma and the pain of what the Behrampada residents are going through.
They have given a lot of money collected from business associates to the victims after Friday prayers ..at Behrampada.
Most of the people that lost their lives and whose house got burnt were from his home town in Uttar Pradesh.
He and Abdul Haji Bhai have a construction office near my shop..at Bandra Bazar Road.
Toying around with some new bicycle storage ideas. Pulley's and Rope. We will post more once the idea is full proof.
A nine-hour late Empire Builder makes for an unusual evening photo of the the train crossing the Mississippi River lift bridge at Hastings. A bit later and there would not be enough light left for this photo to happen. Fun to wait around in the energy of a late summer Friday evening.
In the cavernous hull, with its wooden ribs and stringers, the Bugis boat builders are at work. They are renown throughout Indonesia for their skills, building the Makassar schooners that trade between the islands. The Bugis don’t use blueprints, they construct the vessels by eye.

On a warm summer evening in August 2024 Amtrak Empire Builder 7 cuts through the expansive fields of Fall River Wisconsin with a brand new ALC-42 followed by a nearly 30 years old P42 leading the consist. At the time of posting this it is a brisk 5 degrees out which has me looking forward to days like this again.
As the eastbound Empire Builder rounds the curve near Browning Montana, I quickly realize myself and a childhood friend are running a little late. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, however on this day I'm due to get married at Essex! Really I should have known this would happen, since my friend, and Best Man, has never been on time for anything since we were 14 years old. Thanks to some light fall traffic on Highway 2, we made it to the alter in plenty of time, with my bride to be exclaiming "I knew you two would be late!!"
