Its the Great Northern Railway's (Now part of BNSF) name for that train (Empire Builder). It was the nickname of James J.

Most Amtrak train names are hold overs from days gone by as it was tradition to name passenger trains.

Sorry that the train, a fucking train, which travels on fucking rails, isn't "extreme." Dude, you are pissed because why? The train wouldn't do a half pipe curl dive and then slam a 'Dew?
