Travel back in time with the Friends of the 261 as we travel along picturesque countryside from Montevideo to Granite Falls in the morning and Montevideo to Appleton in the afternoon. Sit back and relax as the scenic prairie to river valley views unfold before you. Start your adventure by boarding the train at the historic Milwaukee Road Heritage Center Depot for an unforgettable roundtrip. Today, this storied route is operated by the Twin Cities & Western Railroad, proud host of our special train.
Historic locomotives Milwaukee Road No. 261, a majestic steam engine, and Milwaukee Road 32A , a classic diesel, will power your train*. Feel the rhythm of the rails, listen for the echoing horn, and watch the steam drift past your window as you relive the golden age of rail travel. It’s an experience like no other!
