Amtrak Empire Builder, the Eastbound #8, pulls into East Glacier Park station, Montana. It's a beautiful sunny September 2008 day and we are returning home. Last clip is looking out the rear window of the sleeper car.
That's about the same time we were there....and took the Amtrak back to Minneapolis......beautiful, amazing place to visit, and Amtrak continues to be our favorite vacation travel.
@Isochest empire builder is mostly single track mainline. it has switch off tracks for freight bypass but it is mostly single, especially through montana and north dakota. rough tracks in north dakota too!!

I see it's on a double track mainline: And with bi-directional signalling, too.
