Young at Heart-Milwaukee Road 261
Author: cozephyr

Milwaukee Road 261 on Red river Valley & Western RR's ex-Great Northern 2nd Subdivision. The huge 4-8-4 cab was visited by Leah and her Dad. Leah's hand was on automatic air brake handle. Friends of the 261 were on the Red River Valley & Western (RRV&W) RR at Breckenridge, Minnesota, for RRV&W's 30th Anniversary.

That's the "Automatic", or train-brake, handle...
The independent is lower down, to her left..
The black handle of the ' independent", is right below the automatic's red handle, where her hand is...

It's a wonderful picture,..... that smile is charming...

Getting a good start, as an engineer---- in learning air brakes, early-on...
