Crossing the Mississippi
Milwaukee Road 261; a 74 year old steam locomotive comes to life as she pulls "The Gourmet Express" across the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In her regular service life, 261 could be seen hauling fast freight and mail trains. Sometimes being used on name trains like the famous "Hiawatha." The engine was designed for power and speed, capable of over 100 mph.
