I still have yet to see 261 in person. Hopefully when I have money, time, and a good job, I can maybe go see 261. I'm hoping to see her when she's resting in Minneapolis or operating on the TC&W.

Got to see 261 myself back in August and it was great

Wish 261 can doublehead with 765 in the future. What if it could happen?
very unlikely.

What type of whistle was 261 wearing that year?
Milwaukee Road 3 chime. She still wears it to this day along with an ATSF 6 chime

It's an Operation Lifesaver plaque placed on the Aux tender.
