Im a bit confused, I have not seen anything new with 261 since they did the fall color trip? Is it down again?

I'm also a little confused. The Trains article directs the reader to the Friends of 261 website for more information regarding the September Minneapolis to Duluth round trip. The only problem is there's no information regarding this excursion on the website.

It may just be a little premature. Us members of the Friends usually get an e-mail a week or two before the excursion is posted to the general public, so as to get first crack at signing up. I imagine the website will have more info soon.
