The old and the new
Title:  The old and the new
Description:  Steve Sandberg brings the fall color trip back into Wayzata after a trip to Willmar on the BNSF Wayzata sub. Before they made a brief station stop to disembark passengers that had boarded at Wayzata, Steve Sandberg and company wheeled their famous charge past a stopped eastbound freight on the Wayzata siding.

Skytop Obs First?
Title:  Skytop Obs First?
Description:  The 261 and the westbound fall color trip to Willmar nears the Old Crystal Bay Road overpass in Orono. It is interesting that the 261 was coupled up to the "Cedar Rapids" for the westbound leg of the Willmar trip. This doubtless was to allow the Amtrak unit to be on the hind end due to having to back up at Minneapolis Junction to gain access to the north leg of the wye there to access the Wayzata Sub. Note the spectators on the Willow Drive bridge at the upper left. Folks sure are well-informed about the 261! Who said people thought trains were boring?

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!
