Before-Thanksgiving deadline met.

Here are some news links
http://www.kfyrtv.com/News_Stories.asp?news=53402
http://www.kxnet.com/getArticle.asp?setCity=bis&s=rss&ArticleId=874103
There's also news release on Amtrak site.

Now we can read again the brochure from the station that cautions, "Do not get left in Minot!"

This is good news...... I wonder if it's true....as KFYR reports.... that Minot is THE busiest station between Chicago and Seattle?

KFYR-TV is a bit off on that note, David.
For instance, station ridership figs for FY 2011, for Empire Builder-only stations:
. 29,179 Minot
. 46,798 Spokane
. 57,823 Whitefish
116,785 St. Paul-Minneapolis
