SP 4449! |
| Description: |
The Southern Pacific 4449. Ever since I saw her in "Tough Guys" when I was a kid in 1986, I dreamed of seeing her in person. 23 years later, at Minneapolis Junction, at last my dream came true. What a lovely engine ... |

Just Like Out Of That Book |
| Description: |
When L was a kid, I cherished a picture book entitled "A Celebration Of Steam." There is a photo of the 4449 in it quite like the one I took here as she prepared to pass under the Central/Broadway intersection overpass and arrive in style at Minneapolis Junction. |

Four super domes and a Skytop |

The Milwaukee Road 261's first excursion trip since 2008 sure turned a profit: they wound up needing *four* dome cars to meet the demand! Here Skytop obs "Cedar Rapids" is just about to cross Bunker Lake Blvd NW. Wish there was not the minor blur around the Mars light. |

Before they made a brief station stop to disembark passengers that had boarded at Wayzata, Steve Sandberg and company wheeled their famous charge past a stopped eastbound freight on the Wayzata siding. |

Skytop Obs First? |
| Description: |
The 261 and the westbound fall color trip to Willmar nears the Old Crystal Bay Road overpass in Orono. It is interesting that the 261 was coupled up to the "Cedar Rapids" for the westbound leg of the Willmar trip. This doubtless was to allow the Amtrak unit to be on the hind end due to having to back up at Minneapolis Junction to gain access to the north leg of the wye there to access the Wayzata Sub. Note the spectators on the Willow Drive bridge at the upper left. Folks sure are well-informed about the 261! Who said people thought trains were boring? |

The Traffic Resumes |
| Description: |
Traffic on Highway 12 picks up speed again as the 261 fall color run to Willmar leaves Old Crystal Bay road behind it. Just visible in the upper right corner are a motorcyclist and an auto using the shoulder to get a better look at the 69 year-old Class S-3 Alco as Steve Sandburg and comapny work their magic. I bet even the State Patrol would let those shoulder-hugging motorists slide, considering the distraction they were contending with! |

Willmar Bound! |

Steve Sandburg and company have their venerable 1944 Alco burning a fire in her grates that sent a white plume into the air as they wheeled the 2013 fall color trip to Willmar over the BNSF Wayzata sub on this crisp October morning. Here the 261 is passing signal 164. Ahead of the train lies the Louisiana Avenue overpass. I was the only railfan perched up here, happy to report! A dude going south on Louisiana honked his horn in appreciation for the train as it thundered underneath too. |

Skytop And Super Dome |
| Description: |
Former Milwaukee Road Skytop observation car "Cedar Rapids" and the former Milwaukee Road super dome car bring up the the hind end of the latest excursion to be pulled by the Milwaukee Road 261. Here they are about to roll across Lake Street in Wayzata as the train slows for a brief stop at the Wayzata depot to diesmbark passengers there that boarded at the depot this morning for the fall color trip to Willmar and return. Incidentally, former Milwaukee Road diesels once plied the rails of the side tracks in the foreground back in the good old days when Dakota Rail used them to interchange with the BNSF. |

Next Stop Willmar |
| Description: |
The Friends of the 261's fall color jaunt to Willmar heads for Maple Plain and all points west to Willmar as the train thunders west paralell to US Highway 12. Note the bold souls in the upper right corner who actually pulled off the highway illegally! I think a State Trooper might not have granted those ralilfans a pass if a trooper happened along, train or no train. Some railfans catch all the breaks. |

One Way To Fix Being Back Lit |
| Description: |
I like sunny days for photography, but it stinks when you have to compensate for back lighting. Fortunately, the 261 was sending such a massive smoke plume into the air, it blocked out the sun if you stood just right. Thus, while I had to adjust the light setting on my Olympus Accura so the picture was not overly lit, I had indirect help from the 261's crew. |

Steam On A Gloomy Day |
| Description: |
I was playing with the light setting on my Olympus Accura with this one. By dimming the light setting, I captured how gloomy the skies the 261 was steaming beneath were. |

A Festive 261 |
| Description: |
Boy, they sure did a fine job of decorating the 261. Note the return of the air horn and how the bell has been centered. |

"261 To The Pole" |
| Description: |
The 1 P.M. "North Pole Express" approaches the "North Pole" setup on SPUD's tail track. Since the late, great Walter Lord once wrote a book called "Peary To The Pole," I decided to paraphrase the title of that book for this picture. It seemed to fit. The 261 crew member waiting in the cab door is going to part part in the events involving Santa's visit to the train. |

I love all the lights they put on the 261. I wonder how they powered them? |
