Happy Birthday Mom! Since our birthdays are only a couple days apart, my parents and I decided to spend the day shopping in St. Cloud. However, seeing Amtrak was delayed, and had an unusual leader, i persuaded them to stop off in Sauk Rapids while i got a shot. They seemed pretty interested in it so we sat and waited for a good hour. Prior to its arrival, my dad and I climbed the overpass, while mom stayed in the vehicle parked to the right of the shot. Unfortunately, coal empties from the power plant at Becker fiddled with things. I got this, while she found out what railfans go through on occasion.
