MILW 261 Wesbound
Title:  MILW 261 Wesbound
Description:  We are now westbound for Wayzata. We are approaching the pedestrian overpass at Bryn Mawer park on the outskirts of downtown Minneapolis. Note the Kenwood water tower in the upper left corner and the unkempt grounds to the left. It is the northern border of the site of Great Northern's Lyndale yard. Rumor has it a GN engine is buried under the ground here. Perhaps 261 might have a GN friend one day?

MILW 261 In The Rain
Title:  MILW 261 In The Rain
Description:  Some trains steam in the rain, others get wet. Seriously, this day a storm tracked farther north than thought, dousing the Twin Cities in a cold drizzle. Here 261 is returning from her afternoon run to Howard Lake, MN. on the new BNSF alignment in Long Lake due to the Highway 12 reroute. She is in reverse, but isn't that smoke plume gloriously white? The entire consist, including the BNSF GP60 on the hind end, is visible in this shot. I had only seconds to get this shot before closing up the camera to prevent droplets getting on the lense whilst standing under the Brown Road overpass.
