I Love This Engine |

I've loved this engine ever since I climbed into its cab when I was a boy on my first visit to the Duluth museum in the late 1980s. I feel like a kid again each time I mount the steps in the right background and get into the cab again. |

NP 1 "Minnetonka" |
| Description: |
I love this engine. It is nice how it shares the name of a Minnesota lake--one which, incidentally, the Northern Pacific did not serve, but its sister road Great Northern did. Northern Pacific successor BNSF still technically owns this engine, but its management nixed an idea to move it to BNSF headquarters at Fort Worth, Texas, a decade ago. The Northern Pacific was born in Duluth, which makes the "Minnetonka"'s longtime home appropriate. |

Hello, hello again, Soo 2719! |
| Description: |
I first saw this lovely Pacific during "Steamfest in the Valley" at Osceola, Wisconsin, in 1998. Sadly, "real life" kept me from seeing her again until 2015. She is currently stored at the Lake Superior Museum, its new owner. Here's to her returning to steam sometime in the near future! The sunlight effect could not be helped, but it does add a dramatic flair to my reunion with the 2719. |

One of the crew in the cab of Milwaukee Road 261 greets a pair of railfans as the fall colors run to Boylston, Wisconsin rolls through Fridley. This dude gave me a friendly wave back when I waved my engineer cap in greeting as they passed my location. Amtrak 184 is my second Amtrak Heritage unit catch, too. Talk about "two for the price of one"! |

And One Fan Stopped To Look |

I thought the 261 might have stopped traffic when it passed through Long Lake eastbound for Minneapolis Junction. All that stopped was the SUV you see in the middle background. I wonder if some of the eastbound traffic on Highway 12 was pacing the train, though. |

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. |

"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. |

Steamin' Up 'Tonka |
| Description: |
Milwaukee Road 261 steams up Minnetonka once more as she approaches Tower E-14 with the westbound fall color trip to Glencoe. By now the fans below me had split into two groups to watch her passing. |

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. |

Her Fans Await |
| Description: |
Four 261 fans wait down by the "Tower E-14" sign for the 261 to put in her appearance as she rolls west for Glencoe with the first 2016 fall colors trip. The Minneapolis & St. Louis once crossed the Milwaukee Road here, but now it is just a wide spot on the road, alas. (I remember when the crossing was still in place. Ah how it seemed to me like it would last forever.) |

Builders And Equipment Trust Plates |
| Description: |
Here is a look at the builders and equipment trust plates that can be found on the front of the 261. I never photographed these until now. |
