Title:  Men at work on Milwaukee Road 261

Meanwhile, down in Texas
Title:  Meanwhile, down in Texas
Description:  99% of my shots are from the MN/WI area, but this 1976 southern bicentennial steam engine is so impressive, that I decided I needed to post a shot of it. This is the Texas State Railroad and this is outside their shop building. This engine is too, big to run on the 25 mile Texas State, so it resides, quite handsomely, as a great static display. This unit ran the southern states during the 1976 Freedom Train runs.
