THANKS for the update,as a kid in 1950 we played on track,rice st to battle creek...9 r.r.served MSP! Westminster tower 7 sets tracks/ 2 tunnels oh the great memories r.r.in St Paul 👋👍
Seriously awesome video, 261 looks sharp as ever! Loved the drone shots, especially that one at SPUD with downtown St. Paul sitting behind. Hopefully I can see it when it does the yearly run along the TC&W this fall
Thanks a ton, and glad you enjoyed it! :D The drone shot at SPUD took about two months of planning with the FAA to get airspace approved, and then unlocking DJI geo fencing; it was a lot. Hopefully you'll get it on the TCWR soon! Thank you for the kind comment, and watching!
@@SD457500 you’re very welcome. I’m wondering if she’s now equipped with PTC seen that she was on the point of the ferry move back to Minneapolis. I’m curious.
Wow! Great video. I haven’t seen the 261 in person but I have a couple of photos of sister unit 265. I have a question for you sir. I mostly take still photos when I go out railfanning. When I take video i use my phone. What kinda of camera/ tripod setup do you use?
I use three different camera's to get videos. My primary is my Canon G50, followed by my Mavic Air 2, and for the cab video, that was on my Samsung S22 Ultra. All of the video is shot at 60FPS. For the tripod, I use a Vanguard Tracker three series legs, and a Manfrotto fluid panhead. I hope this helps!
Thank you excellent video

@@SD457500 Wow, that sounds like a lot of work for such a simple shot haha, but worth it!
@@BNSF1458 VERY hard spot to get permission to fly in.
One cool thing I love about 261 is that she has a gold plated throttle handle
The 261 is a classy operation, and their volunteers are great! Thank you for watching.

@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan The 261 got a PTC Waiver for this move, thus why it had no cars. Rumor is that it'll get PTC sometime in the future.
beautiful........thank you
Thank you; glad you enjoyed the video!
It's a good thing i get to see that steam train MILW 261 Steam train from train days it's so good to see it so anyway Nice Job!

Thank you for the kind words, and glad you enjoyed it. The 261 looked great!
@@SD457500 Your very welcome and nice to hear.
Very well done. I could kick myself for missing this. Darn!
Thank you for the kind words! It usually makes a trip or two on the TC&W in the fall; hopefully you can get it then.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
7:18 You can see me standing on the bridge in the distance. I got lost so I wasn’t able to catch it arriving.
Small world! I was wondering who that was on the bridge; glad you got them chugging up the hill! Thanks for watching!
SD70MAC's, no, Dash 9's, no, UP844, no, UP Challenger, no, Milwaukee 261 and, 32A? Oh, yeah I would go nuts.
Solid power was there, and it was great to see! Thank you for watching.
Watch 261 pass a train that calls home the rails that she used to run as it's main line.
Its always nice to see the 261 out and on the mainline, and putting on a show! Thanks for watching!
