In this video, we'll chase The Empire Builder around the Twin Cities, MN area! We'll see it in blizzards, heavy snow, and even combined with other Builders to make HUGE passenger trains. This is an interesting transition era as well; the new Chargers are being phased in, while the aging P42s still go strong.
Lots of interesting views, drone shots, and locations in this video! The New Chargers are having LOTS of problems, causing failed trains, delays, cancelations, and all sorts of problems. Hopefully, these are resolved ASAP.

Glad you liked the video! Amtrak is perfect for a compilations video; short, fast trains, and lots of action.

Truth to that, especially when half of those are the new ones which don't do well in the cold. Thanks for watching!

Is Amtrak having issues with the Chargers or is not all the engineers been through the training to operate them? The reason I ask is because I have seen several clips from Virtual Railfan with P42's leading and the Chargers trailing in the last month or so. Great video BTW!!!

Thank you for watching, and the kind comment! The new Chargers are HORRIBLE in cold weather; they fail all they time, and are riddled with problems. So much so that trains have gotten stranded, and people were freezing on the train. This has been going on for a year now, yet little has happened to resolve it. It's tied to the tier four requirements, and something with the DEF when it gets cold. Even with all these issues, Amtrak has ordered MORE of these problematic units. It's not a good situation.

Help us Amtrak & politicians to get passenger trains going in Ohio 3C corridor, a direct southern route from the Midwest: Detroit-Toledo-Dayton/Cincy-Lexington-Knoxville-Atlanta, & service from Atlanta-Savannah-Jacksonville!!!
