Viva The Milwaukee Road!
Title:  Viva The Milwaukee Road!
Description:  The 2008 BNSF Employee Appreciation trips are the third time I've photographed the 261 in Long Lake. The weather on this Sunday evening was the best I ever had photographing her here. Incidentally, I was on the yet-to-open Highway 12 bypass for these shots. A fabulous vantage point. Viva the Milwaukee Road!

Description:  Here comes the Milwaukee 261 through Long Lake with the BNSF Employee Appreciation train. This is the third and final run of the day. Wonder if any of those folks on the pedestrian bridge in the background took soot and cinders home as souveniers after she charged by?
