That video was shot between Weaver and Minnesota City. Unfortunately that is not a regularly scheduled train. It was run special for the Grand Excursion in 2004. However it will be repeated on Sept 15, 2007. The same two steam engines will again doublehead on the same line.
At 0:28, I was in the second car (the dome car) from the end working premium class. Best volunteering job ever!

Enjoy your videos. I have rode behind #261 many times and chased it too. Friends of #261 are best hosts around!
