Snowbound Builder
Posted by ChuckCobleigh on Thursday, March 9, 2017 1:59 PM

I thought Carl Shaver's adventures on the westbound Southwest Chief were pretty unusual, including a detour, but yesterday's eastbound Empire Builder fun in North Dakota has the Chief beat.

Thirteen or so hours stuck in a snowdrift brings to mind a Mark Twain short story, Cannibalism in the Cars.
