The Twin Cities Division Tour
of the Milwaukee Road 261
May 10, 2003
(Note: The pictures are divided among three pages to decrease the load time of each page. I've left the photos relatively large, so be patient. The shots, all taken by your webmaster, are in no particular order. Captions where needed.)
Again, a big thanks to Steve Nitti and
the Friends of the 261 for giving the Twin Cities Division this rare
opportunity!
