It looks like today’s westbound Empire Builder was involved in a fatal car collision a little outside Milwaukee. Just saw on the news. Car went around gates and was struck broadside.Happened in Brookfield, WI. https://www.wisn.com/article/car-vs-amtrak-train-in-village-of-brookfield/26397750

I had a voucher for an interrupted Empire Builder trip a couple of years ago. It had a one year expiration date and close to the expiration I went to my local staffed station and the attendant simply re-issued it with another year expiration date. I'm not sure if this is common, but worth a shot.

In September, 2012 I was on an empire Builder train that got delayed by a freight derailment in Montana resulting in a bustitution from Spokane to Seattle. I sent Amtrak an email expressing my disappointment (I got my wife on a train finally and did not want the experience to scare her off). I...

We're about 3 hours from SLC.

They are bussing anyone who's destinations are between Denver and Salt Lake City. For anyone going between grand...
