Running very late |
| Description: |
After the BNSF grain train disappears into the rain and out of Dayton's Bluff, the Empire Builder, running very late makes a very rare daytime apperence. The last time I saw the Empire Builder was in Galesburg back in Aug. of 2005 |

Empire Builder run late |
| Description: |
After the BNSF grain train left, we were going to leave, but I looked and saw a Amtrak P42, so saying to my dad, "Dad, it's Amtrak." We stayed in the rain to get shots of it, it is making a very rare daytime apperence |

Empire Builder |
| Description: |
A pair of P42s leads the Empire Builder in the downpour rain, passengers on board are probably not very happy to look out the window to see rain and clouds |

Empire Builder behind schedule |
| Description: |
What are the chances to see a rare daytime apperence by the Empire Builder??? It's not often, but it is pretty far behind schedule, My dad has only seen the Empire Builder once during the day in the Cities, this is my first time |

Rare photo |
| Description: |
This is my only good photo of MILW #261. Also I had to cut half of it, because my dad is on the right side of me. But as we see #261 and helper Amtrak P42 #56 are about to pass under the HWY 23 bridge, a dirt biker is watching the excursion in the field to the right. He is probably pretty amazed by the steam engine as we were |

I'm trying hard to get a editor's pick, so I did this wide angle shot of the excursion on the HWY 23 bridge over the BNSF main at Brook Park, I love this shot, but I wish the sun was out |
