I got a chance to see the Milw 261 make it's way back into town yesterday. I'm bummed I wasn't on it.. but oh well, it's pretty cool having it blow by you at track speed! http://www.diezfamily.us/coppermine/thumbnails.php?album=35 Tim
Yup. Would be even sweeter, if it were a Creek Series Skytop off the Olympian Hiawatha trains. Boxcab E50
The took the route of the (Amtrak)Empire Builder, so they were on Milw Tracks, all the way up from Winona along the Mississipi We caught 'em just south of the cities since I had only so much time to bail from work and get down there LOL
