MILW 261 Doing A Photo Runby Somewhere In Eastern Pennsylvania (The photo was way beyond Moscow going out of Scranton), Picture 3 |
Description: |
This is my third photo on the first runby of 261. This is, I think, the best pan shot that I took during the 1995 NRHS Convention, and one of my best ever with a steam locomotive. The location is a wild guess necessitated by the fact that rrpicturearchives doesn't allow you to omit location or give something vague. Any input for a correction would be welcome. |

Description: |
Here's my fourth runby shot from 261's first runby of the 1995 NRHS Convention Special back to Pocono Summit. The location, as previously stated, is only there to fill the field and any input into the proper location would be welcomed. |

ex-MILW 261 Doing A Photo Runby (location is guessed) |
Description: |
As the title indicates, the location of this runby is a guess, and at best it was close to Pocono Summit, rather than in Pocono Summit. This was the second place that the 1995 NRHS Convention Special From Scranton to Pocono Summit stopped for a runby, if anyone wants to help figure out the exact location. |

Description: |
Here's 261 on its second runby a few seconds after Picture 1. It wasn't breaking any speed records, but it was doing a good clip for such a short running start. Again, kudos will go to whoever can figure out the correct location for me, as "Pocono Summit" is really a placeholder, and probably not accurate. |

Description: |
Here's a detail shot that I got of 261 as it awaited its final departure from Pocono Summit. Although I don't remember for certain, the children protecting their ears on the right suggest to me that 261 was blowing its whistle at the time, perhaps in preparation to leave. |

The 1995 NRHS Convention Special out of Steamtown terminated in Pocono Summit, but we were given a few farewell shots of 261 as it sat in Pocono Summit awaiting departure, which was done in the form of a runby. |

Description: |
Here's 261 doing a final photo runby on its departure from Pocono Summit, PA, which it backed up for to maximize the effect. Notice all of the tour buses, as the NRHS was regrettably forced to resort to bus transport in a country without an effective intercity rail passenger service!! |

Description: |
This shot, of former Milwaukee Road #261, was actually a photo runby, with two encores! There's nothing quite like a 4-8-4 being gunned. :-) The excursion was the finale for the 1995 NRHS National Convention. |

MILW 261 At Steamtown Grand Reopening |
Description: |
This shot is the best that I could get in this situation, unfortunately, as the crowding at the Grand Reopening of Steamtown was the largest that I had ever seen at a rail-related event up to that time, and still rivals anything that I've seen since. Even given that it was my best, I still ended up with a guy with a tripod. Notice that he's taking a video of a stationary object. Right.... I also had to crop this to hide a stain on the print that I scanned this from. Anyway, Reading, Blue Mountain, & Northern 425 is also visible in the background on the right. |

Along the interstate |
Description: |
Just north of Homer, the NYSW line passes under I 81 and then runs adjacent to the highway for several miles. Its not really a good place to stop, but it can be a good photo location. Taken from the shoulder of I 81 north. |

Across the field |
Description: |
As the line gets closer to Preble, it moves away from the highway, yielding this across the corn shot. Note how 261 dwarfs 142. |
