A completely air-conditioned transcontinental train serving the Empire of the
Great Northwest.
The Empire Builder follows the low altitude route by the shortest distance
between Chicago and Puget Sound.
You will notice from the map above that after leaving the Twin Cities the Great
Northern goes due west in almost a straight line. Even though it crosses the
Great Divide and the Cascades, in all that distance there are only twelve miles
with an elevation of more than 4,800 feet.
