The Traffic Resumes
Title:  The Traffic Resumes
Description:  Traffic on Highway 12 picks up speed again as the 261 fall color run to Willmar leaves Old Crystal Bay road behind it. Just visible in the upper right corner are a motorcyclist and an auto using the shoulder to get a better look at the 69 year-old Class S-3 Alco as Steve Sandburg and comapny work their magic. I bet even the State Patrol would let those shoulder-hugging motorists slide, considering the distraction they were contending with!

Willmar Bound!
Title:  Willmar Bound!
Description:  Steve Sandburg and company have their venerable 1944 Alco burning a fire in her grates that sent a white plume into the air as they wheeled the 2013 fall color trip to Willmar over the BNSF Wayzata sub on this crisp October morning. Here the 261 is passing signal 164. Ahead of the train lies the Louisiana Avenue overpass. I was the only railfan perched up here, happy to report! A dude going south on Louisiana honked his horn in appreciation for the train as it thundered underneath too.

Next Stop Willmar
Title:  Next Stop Willmar
Description:  The Friends of the 261's fall color jaunt to Willmar heads for Maple Plain and all points west to Willmar as the train thunders west paralell to US Highway 12. Note the bold souls in the upper right corner who actually pulled off the highway illegally! I think a State Trooper might not have granted those ralilfans a pass if a trooper happened along, train or no train. Some railfans catch all the breaks.
