Bruce writes: The attached picture was taken at Havre, Montana on Wednesday Oct 12, 2005. I am standing next to Great Northern locomotive 2584. This 382 ton locomotive fascinates passengers on Amtrak’s Empire Builder. Built in 1930 to pull the Empire Builder and other Great Northern passenger trains, 2584 was placed on display next to the depot on May 15, 1964. I had picked up the “The Rake” a few hours before I boarded the westbound Empire Builder in the Twin Cities on Tuesday, 10/13/2005. While reading it, I came upon the “Red-Handed” section and thought the Havre picture might be interesting.
