Remarks: After a long afternoon and night photo session, the crew of MILW 261 gather and discuss tomorrows plans. Although the moon shines now, the clouds would eventually come in and heavy rains would ensue. A Lerro Productions event.
Remarks: No 261, no problem! Just make a "guest" engine a Milwaukee locomotive (hey, the colors are pretty close to the Hiawatha). NOT a photoshop job, just some fun in the shop when Doyle wasn't looking. That's the logo off of 261's tender.
Remarks: An attempt to put the 261 through some tight curves on the Wisconsin Central caused to rails to start turning over. You can see the rails are at an angle. Crews were frantic, but engineer stopped the engine on a dime as soon as he heard the rails pop.
Remarks: Milwaukee Road #261 leads a consist of gondolas Westbound for the TC&W. We needed freight, they needed the gondolas moved - a side profile shot with "rods up" for those who like it as David P. Morgan did. Taken during a charter by Lerro Productions. Pace shot: 1/20th.
