@bizzer261 Well my coment was from a year ago and since then I know Steve and the friends have bought the 261 from the NRM. I think the NRM screwed them over on the sail and charged way to much. The engine was DONATED to the musiem, I understand that they kept it up for close to thirty years. But $250,000!!! Oh well it is done and over with I am just happy she will be riding the High Iron soon. Well i guess the friends don't need 265.

@tinman3804 1) Illinois Railway Museum would never give up the 265 2) The 265, sadly, can never be operational again 3) the Friends of the 261 did purchase it!
-
@TVRM610 Well technically the Friends of the 261 did, but Steve of course is the head honcho.
-
I really hope for a massive resurgenge in the use of steam locomotives in the United States!
-
@hpaul15 At least Steve Sandberg purchased the locomotive, and it will run again.
-
We should have never got rid of the trains because they were a very important part of our infastructure and they are absolutely beautiful.

I heard a rurmor that the friend of 261 were trying to get 265 as a new engine, is this true? Also are they going to try and purchace it so they don't have to go threw this again?

The diesels were cut in for a few steep grades and tight curves in the Two Harbors area. I believe she was pulling 21 cars this excursion.
As for he more recent excursions, they were run as a partnership with Amtrak, and Amtrak requires all cars to be equipped with Head-end power. (480 volts I believe.) this is accomplished by having one or two AMD-103s cut in for power generation.
either way they are moot points now
RIP 261 (Lousey NRM)

When will it run again?
colinroxanduknowit 2 years ago
unfortuantely due to disagreements between the owners (THe national Railroad Museum) and the Operator (Friends of the 261) the 261 is out of service, in need of a massive overhaul, and returning to the museum.
