Yesterday my dad and I both got Amtrak #8, the eastbound Empire Builder. First he got it at County Highway N just east of Mauston. Then I (along with Justin/Trainmasterkreks) got it howling across River Road on the east side of Watertown about an hour and a half later. The train had 3 P42DC locomotives, led by AMTK 134, instead of the more usual two.

This is just sheer speculation, but I wonder if it's seasonal. Perhaps to get over the mountains?

Nice vid! How come it had three engines instead of only two? Did one of them break down or something?

Thanks! I don't know why it had 3 engines.
