Milwaukee 261, Mpls to Winona to LaCrescent 10/6 and 10/7, info??

Hi, I did a search here, and nothing recent came up, at least that I could find.  :(

Does anyone know where it will leave from, and/or the route it will be taking?  I've gone to the 261 website also, and can't find any route info.

I won't be riding behind it, but I sure would like to watch it run by and/or leave.

Thanks in advance.

I would guess it would be similar to the trip to LaCrosse Sept 15th, leaving 261's "home" in north Minneapolis around 8:30 a.m., heading east to St.Paul then south along the east bank of the Mississippi til crossing over to the west bank at Hastings MN.

Unfortunately the 261 folks don't like to advertise the times, only way to get a schedule is to buy a ticket...and even then they don't always give you one !!

OK, I was wondering if that would be the route or not.  Mounds Park, just east of downtown St Paul, seems like it would be a good place to watch it run past, for me anyway.  Thanks for the info, it should be a great show!
