Goodbye Minneapolis |
| Description: |
The westbound fall colors excursion to Willmar has already left Minneapolis behind as the train approaches the venerable pedestrian footbridge which spans the Wayzata Sub and the Cedar Lake Trail. The sun angle resulted in a bit of nose blur on the 261, but otherwise this picture came out great. |

Just Along For The Ride |
| Description: |
The 261 is now clear of Cedar Lake parkway as she and her crew roll south on the ferry move to/Chanhassen. Going west, TC&W GP39-2 2300 and her crew are doing all the work. 261 sure looks grand along the Kenilworth, where the Minneapolis & St. Louis once reigned. |

"Full Steam Ahead" Indeed |
| Description: |
The 261 steams outside her shop at Minneapolis Junction as her first trip og the fall season, a dinner train run out of Chanhassen on the Twin Cities & Western, draws near. The sign touting The Friends of the 261 is quite appropriate in this shot. |

On To Glencoe |
| Description: |
Now in Eden Prairie, the 261's fall color run to Glencoe heads on down the old Milwaukee Road with the "Cedar Rapids" bringing up the markers. Apparently the TC&W diesel that would take the train back to town would be added at Glencoe. The Skytop obs and Super Dome call forth visions of when "The Olympian Hiawatha" once plied these rails. |

| 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. |

"Look Up, Brother! She's Steam!" |
| Description: |
Here comes Steve and the 261 crew with their 1944-vintage Alco, about t` bring their train off the old Minneapolis & St. Louis and onto the old Milwaukee Road down east of Beltline Boulevard. Note how while the lady at right is appreciating the 161, 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!" |

Here She Comes |
| Description: |
Today's westbound run, this time to Winthrop, MN, nears my vantage point, the new pedestrian grade crossing along the Twin Cities & Western down by Eden Prairie High School. Wish I had left the flash on, which would have cut the headlight glare, but oh well. |

Nearing Eden Prairie Road |
| Description: |
The weather for the secon day of the 261's excursions dawned gray and humid with passing showers, but the train made it out of town on time and soon was romping down the old Milwaukee Road. Here the 261 is nearing Eden Prairie Road. |

Wow! |
| Description: |
This was an unplanned shot, and the flash came on for this because I was fiddling with my camera settings before taking the shot. The flash cut through the humidity in the air, creating this cool effect. Not bad for a chance shot! |

E-Unit And A 4-8-4 |
| Description: |
The eastbound "Gourmet Express" nears Shady Oak Road, minutes from its destination, St. Louis Park. I never dared dream I would get an E-unit and a 4-8-4 in the same shot, not to mention no less than three dome cars! |
