Empire Builder with BNSF Power
Author: MNR225

Running about 4 hours late at MP 60.5 on CP's C & M Subdivision,  a BNSF unit provides an "assist" to the EB Empire Builder arriving in Chicago on 08/04.

There was nothing wrong with the Amtrak power assigned to Empire Builder 8(2). But 8(2) set out the AMTK 163 at Spokane, to 7(1) which was having power problems. So 8(2) was left with only the AMTK 201, and the BNSF was added.

Ummm, that's not what I heard GenePoon..   BNSF 6575 was added on 8(02) after the AMTK 163 was having issues at Wenatchee, Wash.
