Gerry,
I’m glad you got to ride the Empire Builder. Occasionally my wife and I ride California Zephyr from western Colorado to Denver and back. Its about 8 hours each way but the scenery thru Glenwood Canyon and the Rockies is spectacular!
Gerry:
Excellent article, makes waiting ti,, summer of ’23 even harder since I will be traveling the Empire Builder full length. Thanks again for the photos and comments.
