Waiting for the Rain
Title:  Waiting for the Rain
Description:  This has to be the EB Afternoon Zephyr but my notes don't show the train number (see comments below). The exact E7A is unknown. Note the Roundhouse and State Capitol above the last car and the GN diesels to the right. Part of the St. Paul skyline is to the left. The first dome car is the original home-made dome, named Silver Dome with unique dome shape and no lowered floor beneath the dome because it was a coverted coach. The shot was taken at Division Street Tower and the train is about 2 minutes out of St. Paul Union Station. If you look over the last dome you can see the Capitol dome. See comments below.
