Milwaukee Road #261

On June 28, 2004 Milwaukee Road #261 made a short trip on the Iowa Chicago and Eastern Railroad, which is former Milwaukee Road.  So the #261 was on former home rails.  The most interesting part of this trip was in Bellvue, Iowa.  In Bellvue the tracks run right down the middle of the main street of town.  And on that day the entire was lined up on the street to see the #261 parade past.
