I rode the Amtrak Empire Builder in July 2012 both ways and one way in May 2014. Arrival time at my destination varied from 3 to 15 hours late. But, with reduced traffic in Williston area (things are slow around there now), that may get better with reduced rail traffic? My point is have a plan B if you arrive at your destination at an absurd hour.
