Rare photo
Title:  Rare photo
Description:  This is my only good photo of MILW #261. Also I had to cut half of it, because my dad is on the right side of me. But as we see #261 and helper Amtrak P42 #56 are about to pass under the HWY 23 bridge, a dirt biker is watching the excursion in the field to the right. He is probably pretty amazed by the steam engine as we were
