Milwaukee Road 261 returned to operation last year following a thorough rebuild with a jaunt up to the North Shore Scenic Railroad in Duluth. Plenty of railfans were on hand to welcome back the big Northern. For many of us, this was also a (hopefully temporary) goodbye to handsome Soo Line Pacific 2719, whose flue time expired last year. Here's hoping we get a chance to see these two together again soon.
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
