I was on the Barstow sub last week when it came east. The C&I ds told a west
bound at Burke that he would hold there for #8 just coming to Savanna. That
was shortly after 3 pm. That train runs late very often, sometimes as much
as 8 hrs. Good luck.

Any idea what time the trains left Chicago and the Twin Cities and are due
to arrive at their final destinations. I live near Oregon, IL and would like
to see them go past. Any approximate time through Oregon, IL? Thank you.

Tks to Jim Young for this info; the EPB travling from Chi to Mpls/StP as God
intended it! ('today' is today - Dec 4)
CHICAGO – Amtrak's Empire Builder will take to its original route between
the Twin Cities and Chicago today and several times in December. Union
Pacific is replacing its crossing with Canadian Pacific's former Milwaukee
Road main line at Watertown, Wis., necessitating the detours.
Both Nos. 7 and 8 will detour today between Chicago and St. Paul via BNSF
Railway's former Chicago, Burlington & Quincy main line, with buses serving
intermediate points. The Burlington was the original route of Great
Northern's Empire Builder, and was used from the time the train was
inaugurated in 1929 until the advent of Amtrak on May 1, 1971 when it
switched to the Milwaukee Road route between Chicago and the Twin Cities.
Train No. 8 will detour again over the ex-CB&Q on December 11, 12, 13, 18,
19, and 20. Train No. 7 will not detour on those days.
