Woke up about 4 am in North Dakota freezing. Went back to sleep and woke again at 6:30 still freezing. I checked and it was -16 degrees outside. Turns out, during the night, there was an electrical problem and there wasn’t any heat in my train car. They stopped between 4 am and 5 am and switched out a car. It warmed up around noon.
North Dakota east of Minot. You see this everywhere in western North Dakota, an oil pump and storage tanks.
You also see a lot of this, new housing that is empty from the oil boom/bust.
