According to the website referred to by EmpireBuilderfan, the EB had to wait for a crew change at Wilson Creek, WA. I can think, of, oh, roughly 1,987,576 places I'd rather be stranded than Wilson Creek. :lol: I'm sure the passengers weren't appreciating this at this point, but at least they got a rare opportunity to see the scenery between Spokane and Whitefish. That can be pretty, particularly the bridge over Lake Pend Oreille at Sandpoint, ID.
