Viewing Album:  Riding the Empire Builder from Seattle to Chicago
 
By:Bob Krug
Dates:6/7/2021 - 6/9/2021
Album Info:Part of a coast-to-coast and back itinerary on Amtrak. Riding Amtrak limits the photos one can get of the actual train itself. There are regular and announced 10 to 20 minute station stops where passengers are allowed a stretch-your-legs / smoking break on the platform. I used those stations to walk up and grab a photo of the front end; hopefully including the depot as a photo prop. While aboard I was taking photos from the Dome Lounge Car, and from the rear car of the train. Some of those photos are included in this album to give a sense of the spectacular passing scenery.
