Due to cool, damp weather, the 261 was a living picture of steam and steel as she rolled back to town on the eastbound run of the "Gourmet Express." |

Confab In The Cab |
| Description: |
The 261's crew confabs in the cab as preparations for a special trip for Loram employees take place. I love how the Milwaukee Road was one of those railways that proudly identified was class of engine their steamers were, which is an S-3 4-8-4 Northern in the 261's case. |

I never caught the red side of the lamps on the 261's front so well until I snapped this photo. Old friends can still surprise us. |

261 On A Tuesday |
| Description: |
A Loram employee (in blue at left) takes a photo of the 261 late on a Tuesday afternoon prior to a special run sponsored by Loram. I never thought I would see the 261 operating on a Tuesday. Thank you, Railway Interchange conference, for being the catalyst for extra runs of the 261 after a weekend's worth of trips on the old Milwaukee Road west of the Twin Cities. |

I Hope Nobody Was Blasé About This |
| Description: |
There is my old friend the Milwaukee 261, crossing Wooddale Avenue in reverse as a special run for Loram workers reaches its boarding point down by Brunswick. I sure hope one of the motorists waiting for the train were blasé at the sight of the living, breathing 1944-vintage steam locomotive. |

My Old Friend |
| Description: |
I have been following (and sometimes riding behind or visiting the cab of) the 261 since 1997, back when Union Pacific 4014's boiler was cold but dry out in Southern California. As cool as an operating Big Boy is, the 261, one of the few surviving, and sole operating, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Pacific steam engines, is my old friend. |

Here Comes The Miracle Of The Rails |
| Description: |
The 261 rolls along with the rest of the Loram special as the train arrives at the boarding site in St. Louis Park. May your luck always be good, 261! I could not believe the sight of an operating Milwaukee Road steam engine when I first glimpsed her in the documentary "Lost Twin Cities," but "Trains" and "Railfan & Railroad" soon confirmed the 261's existence. I have now dubbed her "the Miracle of the Rails" due to her long, successful career as an excursion engine. |

The Milwaukee 261 is almost home as the train pauses to disembark volunteers in Hopkins prior to being led back to town by a PTC-equipped TCWR unit. The fall colors and big building add nice contrasts to this living legend of the rails. |

MILW 4-8-4 #265 - Milwaukee Road |
| Description: |
An young woman gazes as the rusting display locomotive built by Alco in 1944 and donated to the city of Milwaukee for display. Fortunately this has a happier ending. The loco was transferred to a covered building at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL and has had some cosmetic restoration done. Hopefully if someone with deep pockets steps forward, maybe MILW #265 could join her sister #261 as a operational steamer again. Unknown photographer. |
