Is that the line that follows the Mississippi down to Clinton and then veers west across southern Iowa and northern Missouri? My map is old, shows it as CP... if so, then 261 will be in familiar territory. Got this shot of her last summer in Clinton.

MILW 261 arrived in Ottumwa, Iowa on the ICE RR (ex MILW, ex CP, ex IMRL) at about 11:30 AM today. After taking on water it left Ottumwa about 12:30 PM, bound for Kansas City.
