Anyone on the Railforum taking the special Milwaukee Road 261 train this upcoming weekend? (It will run on CP/Amtrak tracks from MSP to MKE during the week, then go out to New Lisbon on the weekend and back to MSP)

Spent a great day on a 261 train in July 2004 in and out of St. Paul. I wish I could be back for this one but the timing is not good this year.
If you have the means, I recommend you go first class in the super dome car. I enjoyed it when the NCDOT used it on our 'Piedmont' and was sorry to see it go. At least it's back on 'native track' though.

Yeah it should be a fun trip (never rode this one before!)... Friday I might sneak down to Sturtevant to catch a peak at it, and then I am looking forward to Saturday.
If there are any Trainweb folks going, I'd love to do a meet and greet. Just post and we can work something out.
