The 261 Returning Home From 2005 Fall Color Trip  Contributor's Pick!       
A scene which simply reeks of the romance of the steam passenger train! Milwaukee Road 261 is returning home as dusk falls from the first 2005 fall color trips to Winona and La Crescent, Minnesota. Beauty on the rails, thy name is "steam locomotive". I especially like how I got 261's headlight in this shot as she began to swing onto the downtown St. Paul wye just east of the Union Depot.
