Over six months in the making, this extraordinary documentary is devoted to the legendary 2200-mile track across the Great Northwest. The route was finished in 1893 by Great Northern Railway Founder James J. Hill.
Produced by Emmy-award winning producer and feature reporter John Yeager for ABC affiliate KXLY-TV of Spokane, Washington, this 48 minute documentary chronicles the life and times of people who now work on the train and those whose lives it touches.

You will see grand views of Amtrak's Empire Builder as it wends it's way from Chicago to Seattle. Spectacular aerial views, in the cab and on the train shots, as well as beautiful runbys make this a MUST DVD!

  • Love the Empire Builder.....Been on it a few times...

  • Beautiful video,i really want to travel with the Amtrak #7 Empire Builder but it reamin only a dream...Anyway 5*

  • true

  • beautiful video--i will ride the EB next year from Chicago to Seattle. I miss the F-40PH but the Metra commuter trains in Chgo still runs them. I purchased 2 Kato F-40PH's and plan on getting 2 more for my planned future Amtrak train project. The Genesis locomotives are nice and more powerful than the F units but its the F-40PH's that stayed in my heart.

  • I'm with you ryan, I miss the F40PH's myself !!! It's hard 2 look up at them now that they been converted the "N.PC.U.'s". The Genesis are A.O.K. but they'll never take the place of the F40PH's !!!

  • great vid

  • The f40ph in the video is one of only 10 f40ph that are still owned by Amtrak.

  • I rode the empire builder once.. it was pretty fricken cool.. boarded in st cloud mn at 2 am and was in east glacier park Montana 20 hrs later.. awesome scenery !!!
