Title:  Steamtown fantrip to Cresco
Description:  Milwaukee 261 doing a run-by. She brought us to Mt Pocono and was cutoff so diesel(s) could take us to Cresco. While we were off the train doing another run-by the CN3254 and RBM&N 425 were tacked on and we had double-headed steam take us back to Steamtown. What a trip!

Title:  MILW 261 & CBQ 3006
Description:  During the 1996 annual Galesburg RR Days festival, two sharp looking locos stand next to each other. MILW 261, a 1944 Alco 4-8-4, was on display before heading up fan excursions at the festival. CBQ 3006, a 1930 4-6-4 Baldwin, is on permanent display at the Galesburg station. Both are excellent examples of steam in its heyday!
