[QUOTE]Originally posted by TwinStarRocket: [QB] Well, if you're going to spend a day off the train, Portland is one of the better cities to be in. Another unfortunate rescheduling issue with the Empire Builder is the new times for St. Paul, when the train begins to use the newly remodeled Union Depot on May 7. According to another site ( http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?4,3383432 ) the stop in MSP will now be only 7 minutes instead of the current 44 minutes, with the padding also reduced by a 28 minute earlier arrival time. The extra 4 miles between the new and old stations usually takes about 12 minutes. MSP is currently a smoking/fresh air stop. Getting 100 people off and onto the train with a single reversing escalator in 8 minutes is optimistic. The CHI-MSP leg is currently experiencing delays and the train is likely to arrive late. The opportunity for passengers just passing through to explore the beautiful depot restoration is lost. [/QB][/QUOTE]
