Title:  Men at work on Milwaukee Road 261
Description:  What we often forget about when photographing, is how much human labor there is involved with all aspects of keeping railroading going. I often wished I had photographed more of the people than I did. This is a BNSF sponsored northbound fan trip from Lincoln, NE to Minneapolis, MN in late summer 1998 at Sioux City, IA

Description:  My memory has slipped on exactly where this was, but I think it was in the vicinity of Marshall, MN on the way to Willmar. I liked the loan tree trying to hold its own in the MN prairie.
