Nice video! They have been running a couple different F59PHI's on the Empire Builder lately. I was a little disappointed to not see one tonight! By the way, did you happen to catch #8 this afternoon? They had a BNSF dash 9, a P42DC, and an F59PHI. Talk about cool lashup!
Wow I Have Never Seen A F59PHI On An Empire Builder! I Know That They Do Have A Couple When They Operate There Trains But Like The First Video With An F59PHI Locomotive With 2 P42DC's! Great Catch!
Sweet! My dad caught the same train in Watertown (WI) today. I was floored when he showed me the video and I saw the Cascades F59PHI. That is for sure rare! Neither of us had ever seen anything but a P42DC on any of the 'Builders before!
