Backwards Empire Builder - a photo on Flickriver

Backwards Empire Builder

            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.
