Milwaukee Road 261

The Twin Cities Division Tour
of the Milwaukee Road 261
May 10, 2003

(Note:  The pictures are divided among three pages to decrease the load time of each page.  I've left the photos relatively large, so be patient.  The shots, all taken by your webmaster, are in no particular order.  Captions where needed.)

Again, a big thanks to Steve Nitti and the Friends of the 261 for giving the Twin Cities Division this rare opportunity!

The engine's distinctive pilot.
Rivets on the outside of the firebox.
The smokebox, opened and lit.  The dark rectangular piece in the upper center of the shot is the bottom of the smokestack.
The engine's trailing truck.
