Milwaukee Road 261

Milwaukee Road 261 is one of the Midwest’s premier steam locomotives for the mainline. These trips, operated for the Milwaukee Road Historical Association, traveled over the rails of the Twin Cities and Western, a Minnesota shortline. These trips operated two days, extending westward from Minneapolis over two routes; one day on the former Minneapolis & St. Louis, the other on a remnant of the old Milwaukee Road’s Pacific Coast Extension, one of 261’s old stomping grounds.
