Due to the derailment in Minnesota, I heard that #7(01) and #8(31) are in the process of detouring over the BNSF line through Willmar, Minnesota. (I got the chance to ride this line last year during a special run of the Milwaukee Road 261 steam engine) Of course, #7(01) has the Great Dome on it... which is headed out to Seattle for the Leavenworth, WA charter this weekend... after it spent the past week running on the Hiawathas and Lincoln Service trains. They held it in Minneapolis overnight for about 6 hours, but it's now on it's way west. The "track a train" is showing the detour for #8 right now, but not #7, which might take the original route afterall.
If anyone out in ND or west has a camera and can get some shots of the Great Dome and post them here, that would be great to see... Again... Great Dome on a very late #7(01).
