Hi all! The Empire Builders attempt ended up in a big brawl with a few black eyes

Didn't show that in the Garden Railways mag

Just remembering seeing a photo of all the doulbe stack cars all piled up which i believed belonged to people who just donated for the record attemp .

Found this video about the Empire Builder attemp
