Maybe not on the St. Paul end but as for Chicago with the number of trains should be able to rustle up some functional acceptable satisfactory packaged food stuffs and beverages and then round trip it for the return.

Oh you mean a casserole depending on which side of which border you are traveling - LOL ! And then it is downright unneighborly to not bring enough to share !

Relax none of the exploded debris will be left in the harbor/channel - - - It was reduced to manageable pieces and parts for easy removal and perhaps salvage - - - As for the concrete - none of that material was in the center of the navigable channel - it was the pier support for the metal...

You no doubt are using methods to avoid reflection and back lighting in your photos - If not try to hold the camera (cell phone) as close to the window and flat as possible. Beware of bright lights (SUN) which maybe unavoidable to deal with. The speed of digital cameras can take care of most...

Is this seating plan what is going to be used on the Borealis ? If the car is Horizon appears to be more than 15 seats ?

That period in August perhaps interleague baseball games between the Cubs and White Sox -or- Milwaukee Brewers ?

Least we not forget that the Borealis will be a commuter train of sorts - transportation point to point Whereas the Empire Builder is a long distance and scenic mode of travel with sleeping/dining accommodations Night and day - day and night a whole nother type of travel between the two trains...

In my not so humble opinion - - - Keep it simple - there is no reason to operate the Borealis trains with a push pull split and separate cars at Milwaukee - nothing like screwing with the basic planned train and achieving more delays and other mechanical snafu meshing cars and locomotives* (I...
