Here Comes The "Caritas" |
Description: |
Private Car "Caritas", now owned by Iowa Pacific, is no stranger to 261 excursions. Here comes the well-traveled private car as it takes part in a parade of varnish along the Kenilworth Trail as the 261 ferry move to Chanhassen heads west. |

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 of 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. |

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.) |

A Canadian Pacific train headed by two older units took the west leg of the Division Street wye while the 261 was at the east end of St. Paul Union Depot's grounds with the 1 P.M. North Pole Express. A steam and diesel shot was just what I wanted for an early Christmas gift. :-) |

I am glad I got the Chicago and North Western era "raise flanger" sign in this shot, because it reeks of the North Western. This connection used to be the interchange track between the Minneapolis & St. Louis and Milwaukee Road at this point. |

The Glorious 261! |
Description: |
With the 261's crew blowing her glorious whistle ("Hoo-weee! Hoo-weee!"), the fall color trip to Glencoe heads off the old Minneapolis & St. Louis main line and onto the connecting track to the former Milwaukee Road on a cloudy, rainy Sunday morning. (FYI: I got my picture at the grade crossing for the Three Rivers trail.) |
