June 16 - Empire Builder to City of New Orleans

After a good night of sleep, we arrived on time in St. Paul-Minneapolis, Minnesota. Traveled along and crossed the Mississippi River leaving St. PAul. Goal is to arrive Chicago by 4 PM to connect to the City of New Orleans at 8 PM. 

 

 

  

 

 

 Last fresh air break on Empire Builder at Winona, Minnesota. Expecting and on time arrival in Chicago. 

 

   

 

Arrived Chicago right on time 4 PM. Checked into the sleeping car lounge and then went for my Chicago hot dog and a brief step out doors. 

 

  

Waited in the sleeping car lounge to board the City of New Orleans. 

 

 

Boarded and leaving Chicago. Good to have Rion as my sleeping car attendant. He was my attendant coupe years ago. Here's today's last photos.
