I just found the above site link where you can view a map with locations along the Empire Builder route then try to guess the name of the stops as they are indicated in a box at the top. I was terrible with it but I'd bet that some here on AU could do real well. Some of you may have already been there... done that, but then again some may not have. Just thought I'd share this with those who haven't.

Hey! Let's lobby for an MSP (Mind Stimilus Package) where we can all apply for funding to cover a round trip on the Empire Builder and one additional round trip on an Amtrak train of your choice!

... each month! I'll even promise it would cost less than $100,000,000 - at least my portion! (My round trip choice would be KIN-NYP-CHI-SEA-LAX-SAS-CHI-LAX-EMY-CHI-NOL-CVS-CHI-WAS-MIA-PHL-PGH-WAS-NYP-ALB-BOS-KIN! Maybe I'll do something different the 2nd month! )

Keeping our fingers crossed. We in Cedar Rapids are all too familiar with flooding.

72%. Not bad, but I should have gotten in the 90s, considering I have an EB poster hanging in my room that lists all of the stops in order!
