These answere may be optomistic?  there may be a more graduated restoration of service as more cars are returned to service and more OBS finishing training?

When the Empire Builder return to 7 days per week service? We plan to take a trip from St. Paul to Seattle to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary some in April or May so we can use our pass priviledge (X-BN).

Probably at the same time they start operating the Silver Meteor again, or when the start operating the Capitol Limited on a 7 day basis.

I don't know!

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
