| 3 former CB&Q E Units, led by E8A #9943 (ex-CB&Q #9943A) and followed by either E8A's or E9A's, arranged elephant style, are the power for what appears to be the EMPIRE BUILDER, which may be running combined with one, or more likely two, other trains. The first car is an ex-GN baggage-express in Big Sky Blue, then an ex-CB&Q dome, 2 ex-GN chairs (1st in BSB, 2nd in the old Green & Orange), 3 ex-GN domes in BSB (2 dome chairs and a full dome lounge), a car in Cascade Green, 2 ex-GN cars in BSB, 2 ex-CB&Q domes, an ex-CB&Q car, an ex-CB&Q dome, and I can't tell after that.
