Prep Work
Milwaukee Road 261 heads west on the Wayzata Sub as it enters Nicollet Island en-route to Hopkins. It is running PTC exempt so it was rolling by at 20mph. Glad to finally rolling again after a 2 year hiatus due to COVID-19.
This was a deadhead move prior to the weekend's excursion. Only had 4 cars and the E9 behind the tender, the rest of the train is already at Hopkins as it was on the bottom half of the Saint Paul Turn a day prior to this. The train will be built at Hopkins and will be overnighting there for the weekend while not on excursions.
