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
Title:  "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
Title:  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.
