261 On The Old Milwaukee
Title:  261 On The Old Milwaukee
Description:  Moved away from the telegraph poles for this closer look. The trips were operated from the old Milwuakee Road Bass Lake yard in St. Louis Park, and 261 and her train now have only a few miles left to go until reaching Bass Lake after passing this point. The day was incredibly hot, and normally I would have been at the beach. But miss good ol 261, on the old Milwaukee no less? No way!

The 261 Passing The Former M&St.L/CNW Hopkins Depot
Title:  The 261 Passing The Former M&St.L/CNW Hopkins Depot
Description:  I was inspired by a photo of SP 4449 (which can be found on this site) at the Hopkins depot with the American Freedom train to try a similar shot with 261. Granted, the Milwaukee (now Twin Cities and Western) tracks are way over on the right, and the old Louie (now a Three Rivers Park trail. Let's have the rails and 4449 back instead!) and depot on the left, but the same principal still applies. Depot has been a coffehouse since 1998. Today 261 is returning in reverse from a trip to Colonge in honor of it's 100th anniversary. A further trip from there to Glencoe was also done this weekend.

MILW 261 Wesbound
Title:  MILW 261 Wesbound
Description:  We are now westbound for Wayzata. We are approaching the pedestrian overpass at Bryn Mawer park on the outskirts of downtown Minneapolis. Note the Kenwood water tower in the upper left corner and the unkempt grounds to the left. It is the northern border of the site of Great Northern's Lyndale yard. Rumor has it a GN engine is buried under the ground here. Perhaps 261 might have a GN friend one day?

MILW 261 In The Rain
Title:  MILW 261 In The Rain
Description:  Some trains steam in the rain, others get wet. Seriously, this day a storm tracked farther north than thought, dousing the Twin Cities in a cold drizzle. Here 261 is returning from her afternoon run to Howard Lake, MN. on the new BNSF alignment in Long Lake due to the Highway 12 reroute. She is in reverse, but isn't that smoke plume gloriously white? The entire consist, including the BNSF GP60 on the hind end, is visible in this shot. I had only seconds to get this shot before closing up the camera to prevent droplets getting on the lense whilst standing under the Brown Road overpass.
