Echo Of The Olympian Hiawatha |
| Description: |
The "Cedar Rapids" brings up the rear on the Fall Colors train to Glencoe as the train crosses Eden Prairie Road. You know, I once daydreamed about "The Olympian Hiawatha" traveling on this, the Milwaukee Road's route to the Pacific Coast. The "Olympian Hi's" skytop obs featured in this daydream. While the "Cedar Rapids" is not a sleeper Skytop obs, it still was great to see a Skytop on this portion of the old Milwaukee Road. |

Steam In The Snow, 2017 |
| Description: |
"There's nothing like steam in the snow," Jim Boyd noted in his book about Steamtown. The 261 has steamed in the snow at Steamtown National Historic Site and now, for the fourth year running, at St. Paul Union Depot. Here the crew is bringing the 1 P.M. train to the North Pole into its destination on the east side of SPUD. Dig that steam show! You rock, 261! |

"MILW 261 West" At Powers Blvd |
| Description: |
"Milw 261 West" crosses Powers Blvd in grand style on a sunny, cool, and breezy Saturday afternoon on the second weekend in September. Many patrons were enjoying good eats on this trip, because the excursions run this weekend were dubbed the "Gourmet Express" due to the food-oriented nature of the trip. The track warrant was nevertheless issued to "MILW 261 West" when the Gourmet Express was at Tower E-14 in Minnetonka, the beginning of Twin Cities & Western-owned track. |

Note how while the lady at right is appreciating the 261, the dude jogging across the tracks reminds me of a comment David P. Morgan wanted to shout at a Canadian commuter reading his paper while a Canadian Pacific steam engine on a commuter run passed him: "Look up, brother! She's steam!" |

| Title: |
Away From The Madding Crowd |
| Description: |
Why was I so far back for this shot? Well, for one thing, a good friend of mine who was present told me 4014 was a huge engine, so I needed to be back enough to get all of her in the frame. For another, I am not one for crowds, so I was more than happy to keep well back to grab my shots of 4014 on the old Spine Line. |

Best I Could Get |
| Description: |
They just had to close the sidewalks on the bridge over the Division Street wye. Luckily, since I stand almost 6'5, I could hold my camera above the barriers and snag this mostly decent shot as Ed D. and his crew make their grand entry into St. Paul Union Depot as they return from Duluth. |

"Big Boy" |
| Description: |
In a nod to how the Big Boy class got its name, Ed Dickens and his crew chalked "Big Boy" on the 4014's smokebox, just like an annoymous worker did on the first Big Boy built. |
