Now that, is a beauty. Minneapolis-Moline. Made on Hiawatha Ave back in the 50s. I have a soft spot for antique orange tractors from Minneapolis.

The Slowly Drying Well Choosing photo spots on this 261 outing was not such an easy task - having been through here many times before, I often feel as though I've overshot this region and feel a little out of ideas from time to time, and the rain certainly did not help matters. Still, we were able to come up with some stuff on the fly! At Wells Avenue - a location all of us seem to nearly take the wrong turnoff on, hah - we decided to go long-distance. Nothing fancy, but hey, not everything needs to be. Of note here, though a little hard to see, is the old Milwaukee codeline, which continues to linger on today.
Saved for a Rainy Day The Saturday chase on the Milwaukee Road 261 was a rainy day, which has its plus sides and downsides, but boy, this train and rain seem to go together well. I was having deja vu to last years chase where day one also saw plenty of rain. During our chase, we underestimated the speed we could get up to and the speed of the train. The original shot at Cologne I was hoping for was a no-go with 261 westbound, so we had to press on. However, on the way back, we had the opportunity to actually go and wait for the train thanks to the usual stop at Bongards. When they started to put everything back together and get people on, we took off. I tried this shot last year, but with the sun fighting me that time, it wasn't the best. This time around, there were clouds to let me take a second crack at it. Milwaukee Road 32A certainly stands out against the early fall colours as it enters Cologne, passing by the elevator track. We wouldn't see any sun the rest of the day, though it did try its hardest to peak out of the clouds from time to time. The 261 is definitely the star of the show, but the 32A is also a fine shot on its own.
