Back on October 10th, 1994 I was out photographing the Wisconsin Central up towards Oshkosh and this is one of the trains that I was able to catch (I did not know in advance that it was coming through).
I don’t recall the exact reason that Milwaukee Road 4-8-4 #261 was disguised as the Lackawanna #1661, but it did make for some unique photos of this beautiful steam engine and I was fortunate enough to be able to catch it twice in Oshkosh as well as here at Van Dyne, Wisconsin. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
