MILW 261 Ride Photographs
The following photos were shot while riding the
261 on Saturday. My friends and I were lucky enough to get some good
"window time" and shoot a lot of meets. Not to mention it was sunny
for most of the first half of the excursion
(Fond du Lac to Stevens Point).

A wig wag signal guards a crossing on the north side of
town. Yes it is 1993. The location, I believe, was on Custer
Av. The tracks ran parallel and to the east of Harrison Street. |
