‘Empire Builder’ riders take the bus after Montana derailment
If this accident occurred in the 19th century, imagine train passengers being stagecoached around the wreck. Actually, travellers would stay with their trains.
And where is the good old Milw. Rd. when you need it?
BNSF always finds a way to delay the BUILDER !!!
I don’t ever see the Builder detour via MRL. Actually, the buses are probably faster and this part of the run is in daylight. At least Amtrak is providing their customers with an alternative. They don’t always.
Landon - yes, this part of the run is in daylight - if the train is on-time, and BNSF hasn’t already screwed it 4 times since departure.
