MILW 261 Chase Photographs

The following photos were shot while chasing the 261. My friends and I were lucky enough to arrive in time on Friday afternoon to catch the 261 coming into North Fondy and snap some quick pictures. Saturday we rode and then Sunday we again shot the 261, this time along her entire route and the sun even came out (at the end of the day of course).
