Greeting The Fans
Title:  Greeting The Fans
Description:  One of the crew in the cab of Milwaukee Road 261 greets a pair of railfans as the fall colors run to Boylston, Wisconsin rolls through Fridley. This dude gave me a friendly wave back when I waved my engineer cap in greeting as they passed my location. Amtrak 184 is my second Amtrak Heritage unit catch, too. Talk about "two for the price of one"!
