Model Railroader Photo of the Day: The Empire Builder

Amtrak’s train no. 7, the Empire Builder, glistens in the late afternoon sun as it operates over the Wisconsin & Michigan. Dave Rickaby photographed the scene outdoors on the Wisconsin & Michigan Model Railroad Club’s HO scale layout. The Amtrak equipment is owned by Joe Seidl.
