Thanks man, yeah for a Canadian to even see American coaches from the 1950's in an era i never grew up with, but saw in old Trains magazines from the 50's. It was awe-inspiring, but i still love em Tuscan red CPR coaches the most, and the CNR G&G ones 2nd, with 80's Blue VIA coaches in 3rd

Nice !! I rode in the third car from the back, "Wisconsin Valley" cafe/lounge car, on the steam doubleheader Sept 15th. Great thing about the doubleheader was they didn't have one of those pesky diesels in the way!!

BTW only the last two cars are former MILW cars, most of the cars the Friends of 261 operate originally came from other railroads.
