Puzzling statement - westbound Borealis - ? - eastbound Builder shouldn't that be westbound Builder
AND THEN TODAY 9/20 - - -
Builder #8/28 is operating well over 7 +++ hours LATE !
So LATE that the Borealis as a backup alternative will be get riders to Chicago town before the Builder #8/28
arrives in the dawn of the next day. And all the intermediate stops between MSP and CHI
The Borealis has such an attractive schedule why even think about the Builder unless going further west of MSP !
