261 departure?
Posted by trainster1073 on Thursday, August 14, 2008 7:56 PM

Does anybody have an idea when the Milwaukee Road #261 is leaving Milwaukee for the Dells on Sunday? or possibly know what time it is scheduled to be in Columbus, WI?

Thanks
Dustin

Should be out around 8am, though they have been known to fall slightly behind and depart a few minutes late.

Going off of Amtrak's schedule the trip from Milwaukee to Columbus should be about an hour to an hour and a half without any stops. If the 261 ends up having to wait for a meet with another train somewhere or has to stop for maintenance or something, it could easily be longer. I'd guess though that he'll be in Columbus anywhere from 9 to 10 o'clock. All just an estimate though, things can always change and I'm only going off of how long it takes Amtrak to make that distance.
