There were actually two trains. The first was the Empire Builder, which runs between Seattle and Chicago. The second was the Lakeshore Limited, which runs between Chicago and Boston/New York. We were about two hours late leaving Minneapolis on Wednesday morning and arrived a little after 6 pm in Chicago. That was fine, however, as the train leaving Chicago didn't go until 9:30. It was lovely sleeping on the train and we arrived in NYC about 6:30 Thursday evening. I took 686 photos! Most were really lousy, but the better ones are here.
