Every year, the Friends of the 261 put on a show with the Milwaukee Road 261 in the fall. From Fall Colors to the Gourmet Express, the 261 has its work cut out for it each year - and each year is just as spectacular as the last. The route stays the same each year, starting in Minneapolis and traveling out to Glencoe, then returning home - once a day, for two days.
Between 2017 and 2019, I chased the 261 for the entire weekend. This is the collection of the best shots from each year - with so many to choose from, it's hard to pick the best.
