	Billabong Boardgamers: Empire Builder review
		In Empire Builder, you are a wealthy rail baron poised to build a great rail network across North America, and make your fortune moving goods from one part of the continent to another.
		Empire Builder is the flagship of Mayfair's so-called 'crayon' railway games, and spawned many sequels (notably Eurorails and Iron Dragon) and a second edition of itself (which is supposed to be significantly better than the first edition).
		Empire Builder really starts to move at quite a pace once players have built a fair bit of rail, since it's then down to moving the trains and collecting or unloading goods.

	Empire Builder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Empire Builder is a passenger train route operated by Amtrak in the Midwestern and Northwestern United States.
		The cars bear the eye-popping Omaha Orange, Pullman Green, and gold stripe livery (known as the "Empire Builder scheme") that was the standard for GN passenger trains for 20 years.
		Great Northern's Empire Builder stops in Havre, Montana in 1967, shortly after the road modernized its color scheme and logo, introducing the "Big Sky Blue" era (passenger equipment begins to receive the blue, gray and white paint scheme, replacing the traditional EB livery).

	RPGnet: Review of Empire Builder
		Though Empire Builder wasn't released until 1980, it and 1829 have probably been the most sucessful railroad games to date, each one leading to a half-dozen or more spin-offs, each using the same core system of its progenitor.
		Empire Builder (and spin-offs) is very much a game of its time and place.
		Empire Builder is a classic that has sufficiently influenced the genre, that it's difficult to go back and say "what works" and "why is it good".

	Empire Builder on the air
		Here's your chance to sit in the control room of studio D and look over the shoulders of the engineer, the production director and the 'advisory director' (actually a representative of the sponsor) as the Empire Builders, one of network radio's earliest adventure shows, goes on the air.
		Empire Builders, sponsored by the Great Northern railway (whose premier limited, which ran from Chicago to the Pacific Northwest gave the program its name), first aired in 1928 and left the air at the end of its 1931 season (an apparent victim of the depression).
		Empire Builders aired Monday nights from 9:30 to 10 p.m.

	OhGizmo! » Archive » OhGizmo Review: Tom Bihn Empire Builder With Brain Cell & Soft Cell
		The website claims the Empire Builder was three years in the design process and after using the bag for a few weeks now I don’t find that fact that hard to believe.
		The Empire Builder also came with 3 hard plastic tabbed dividers that can be easily added and removed and are designed with a clever notch on their sides that ensures that when they’re inserted in the main compartment they will not accidentally fall out.
		The Empire Builder is designed to accomodate a laptop in conjunction with either the Tom Bihn Brain Cell or the Tom Bihn Soft Cell which we’ll take a look at next.

	"Empire Builders" Broadcast: January 5th, 1931
		The drama begins aboard the "Empire Builder" somewhere between Spokane and Portland where the Great Northern route follows the course of the Columbia River and the adjacent Columbia River Highway.
		Aboard the Empire Builder, the Great Northern's premier limited connecting Chicago and the Pacific Northwest, the broadcast's continuing character, the "Old Timer" (played by Harvey Hayes), encounters Bert Pond (played by Bob White), a friend of many years.
		Laura Gray (aided by the Empire Builder nurse) changes the baby's diapers and lays a populist rap on Bert Pond that proves, in the sequel, that the powers of a social worker trump those of a captain of industry.

		Second, these days the Empire Builder from Chicago to Seattle/Portland is Amtrak’s flagship train.
		The faltering national passenger railroad’s constant cutbacks have largely escaped Trains 7 and 8, because the Builder is a showcase of sorts: Amtrak wants to keep the ambience of at least one of its trains close to what it used to be.
		Usually when the Builder is late, there’s a good reason — bad weather or an accident on the tracks ahead.

		Much of what Colin had to say about the ID bag can be echoed for the Empire Builder; it is a quality product with a lot of effort put into it, including such amenities as a weatherproof zipper and main compartment, construction from high quality nylon, foam, and neoprene.
		The exterior pocket of the Empire Builder lives under a large flap (which also covers the zipper to the main compartment, and can be secured with a large adjustable clip strap), which also has two zippered pockets (of the same quality construction as the main compartment) and an open pocket on it.
		All in all, the Empire Builder and Brain Cell are a dazzling bundle.
