261 Pulling Out At Minneapolis Junction  Contributor's Pick!       
Having waited for a passing eastbound BNSF freight that had followed us from Wayzata, 261 swings out past the Harrison Street sign at Minneapolis Junction as we begin our return trip to Wayzata in another vestibule-eye view. Note the fans and riders in the "open coach" (a baggage car with the doors open and gates across the entrances) enjoying the show as we prepare to cross Harrison Street, and the contrast between the modern signals and a primo 1944 Alco 4-8-4!
