No. 261 shows off for the crowds at Bongards, Minnesota, on the TC&W. This was once the Milwaukee Road main line to the west coast.

Milwaukee Road 261 heads by a farm just outside of Bongards, MN as it heads west to Glencoe on the Ex Milwaukee Road Mainline during its test run after a 4 year rebuild.
Hitting the curve just like in days past? Ex Milwaukee main line. The Mars light is off for now, For a time it didn't have one and it covering that time.
With such a glorious sky and a magnificent plume, I decided low to the ground was the preferred angle this late Friday evening on the former Milwaukee main.
My best shot from the crossing at Bongards, showing the entire train. This was the deadhead move to position the train at Glencoe for the photo charter. Thanks to Lerro Productions.
Classic scene at Bongards.
