- And then there is the rest of the story.
-
- The Empire Builder *is* being run from Chicago to Minneapolis.
- The train is being annuled west of St.Paul. Passengers traveling
- from Chicago to Portland or Seattle are being transported on the
- Pioneer. Other passengers are being offered a refund or rescheduleing
- their trips. Helluva way to run a railroad isn't it?
-
- Roumer also has it that the 'Builder is also being run from Seattle and
- Portland to Spokane, and annuled east of Spokane. Is there any truth
- to this?
