Title:  MILW 261
Description:  With the headlights of a waiting WB BNSF train shining off its flanks, the #261 is almost home free on the BNSF high iron and on its way to the Twin Cities. I was going north for a few more shots, but hit rain and came home. All in all I was glad I ventured out after this specail.
