Happy 90th anniversary to the #EmpireBuilder train! Not familiar? Experience the rugged splendor of the American West. Traveling daily between Chicago and the Pacific Northwest along major portions of the Lewis and Clark trail, the mighty Empire Builder takes you on an exciting adventure through majestic wilderness, following the footsteps of early pioneers. To learn more, check out the link in our bio.
Here is a Great Northern publicity photo taken around 1967/1968. Exact date is unknown. Taken at Maria's Pass.
GN 333 (and its roster-mate SDP45's, all purchased to replace aging F-units) was delivered in 1967, in Big Sky Blue, as a part of the repainting and re-equipping of the Empire Builder. Of course, less than four years after their introduction, Amtrak took over all long-distance passenger rail - keeping the EB, among others - but did not take any SDP locomotives into it's roster.
Photographer Unknown.

Part two of @throughglassyeyes #EmpireBuilder train Journey:
“The second day begins with the hypnotizing mid-west prairie enclosing the #EmpireBuilder. Golden land. Abandoned huts. Jagged rocks peeking out of the great plains. Soon, the foothills of the #RockyMountains will announce the Great Divide.”
