This Upload I just didn’t quite finish before I left on my Local Trains to Boston and Vermont Trip. So it’s not going to be the usual post-Boston trip update of all the additional photos I have. Instead I’m continuing the final intermediate stations of my Coast Starlight-Empire Builder Trip across the country. Minneapolis Updates with the new Union Depot and rebuilding the Hiawatha Light Rail Line I just can’t deal with at the moment and feel like I have more important website updates to do. This isn’t to be confused with the two standalone intermediate stops on Amtrak’s Hiawatha Service that are in this update:
- Winona, MN–(20 Photos), the usual fresh air stop including the Empire Builder stopped over a grade crossing
- Wisconsin Dells, WI–(5 Photos) out the rear window to supplement my previous stop a few years ago by car
- Milwaukee, WI–(39 Photos)–The Empire Builder arrived at the Island Platform that required exiting passengers to use the dark and dingy underpass into the modern station so I finally got photos of it!
- Milwaukee Airport, WI–(53 Photos)–a new station including a F40 Cabbage still in the red, white and blue paint, with a Police Dog and TSA watching everyone board
- Sturtevant, WI–(99 Photos) – This Hiawatha Park & Ride Station I spent a two hour layover at, at least it had an interesting design, overpass and a depot. I did find a place for lunch (a Subway Sandwich) during my stay
Enjoy!
