MILW 261 enters Mauston, Wisconsin with whistle blaring and the bell ringing, just as the sun pops out of a hole in the clouds. My what a great sound that is!!
A short BNSF train heads up the Huey P Long Bridge approach in the absolute last light of day, passing one of the local restaurants that line Clearview Avenue in Elmwood.
On it's way to turn at River Junction, 261 runs by a line of photographers at Dakota MN, with the Mississippi in the background. The smoke from the engine invelops the cars behind it.
