What A Plume! |
| Description: |
The first "North Pole Express" of the day is halfway through its first run. As the 261 sat at the end of SPUD's tail track, she sent such a mighty plume of smoke into the air it covered the sun like a cloud! |

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 Engine And A Rent A Cop |
| Description: |
The crew of the 261 backs the first "North Pole Express" of the day down SPUD's tail track a little. The SPUD rent a cop was quite vigilant as he patrolled the grounds, warning off a couple fans (including me) as to how wandering on federal property was a no no (he didn't arrest anybody, happy to relate). |

Echoes Of Steamtown, 1996 |
| Description: |
When I was fifteen, I read in "Railfan & Railroad" and "Trains" about the 261's winter trips out of Steamtown NHS in Scranton, PA. This pic of the 261 at SPUD echoes those trips, at least to me. |

Keeping Pace With The 261 |
| Description: |
The 261's crew slowly gets a wheel into their train as their iron horse exhales large clouds of steam. Meanwhile, two fans (at least one of whom is also an event volunteer) keep pace with the train. |

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. |
