Amtrak Number 7
Westbound Empire Builder
Oconomowoc,WI.
October 1992
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 Devil’s Bridge, (also known as Sheytan Kyupriya) is a medieval bridge over the Arda river.
The bridge was built in 1515 - 1518 by the builder Dimitar from the village of Nedelino (which is a town nowadays) upon the remains of an ancient Roman bridge on the road, linking the Aegean region with Northern Thracian valley (Gornotrakiyski Nizina) through the Makaza pass.
Legend says that the Devil himself took part in the construction of this bridge. During the middle ages, the Arda river was extremly wild and turbulent. Many had tried to connect the two banks of the river, but they all failed. Until a determined and ambitious young man appeared. He decided to build a bridge across the river no matter what it would cost him. Suddenly, the Devil appeared before him and promissed to reval the secret of how to make a bridge that would last forever. The Devil demanded from the builder to incorporate his demonic face in the bridge in a way that would be visible and invisible at the same time. The young man had 40 days to accomplish this task. If he failed to do so, the Devil would take his soul to Hell. Surprisingly, the builder managed to do what the Devil told him to do before the deadline. The bridge still stand exactly as it was 500 years ago and if oyu look closer, you will notice the ominous appearance of Satan.
The Cathedral of the Annunciation, Kremlin, Moscow, Russia.
On the crest of Borovitsky Hill, at the south end of Sobornaya Ploshad (Cathedral Square), stands the Cathedral of the Annunciation.
The first church was built on this spot as early as 1397 by order of Grand Duke Vassily I. The present building dates from 1484, when Ivan III (the Great), the great Muscovite empire-builder, ordered a new cathedral on the site. It was completed in 1489 by Krivtsov and Mishkin, masons from Pskov, who blended Greek and Russian styles in their design.

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.

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.
First build of my month's Iron Builder challenge to use the paint roller part. Couldn't resist the obvious joke.
....was here ..... unfortunately I haven't seen him. I'll have to come again. But then quietly and carefully ...psst
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.
In 1862, the Countess of Ripon commissioned Sir George Gilbert Scott to build this church in memory of the first Earl, her husband, on their estate at Nocton, near Lincoln. This was completed in 1863 in an elaborate Early English style in Ancaster stone, with plate tracery and a 130 foot steeple. The builder was Mr W Hudleston. Scott also designed a monument to the Earl in 1859, the effigy by Noble in 1862, executed by Farmer, to go in the completed church.
In the village, Scott designed terraces of partly three storey stone houses (for example, 18-21 Main Road) in an asymmetrical style, a lodge to Nocton Hall, and a Gothic style school. Her son, the new Marquis of Ripon, who became Lord President of the Council during Gladstone’s first administration (1868–73), would have further dealings with Scott.

Amtrak's 2nd oldest P42DC (and oldest active one) is in reasonably good shape as it takes the point on the westbound Empire Builder.
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.
The Empire Builder navigates the BNSF Saint Paul Subdivision in Cottage Grove running in the Mississippi River Valley towards Hastings. Talk about a typical uninspiring November - trains still run on dreary and drab days.
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.
