Back to Bongards - a photo on Flickriver

Back to Bongards

            In an unusual twist, I actually ended up riding on the 261 for the 2022 Gourmet Express, along with my girlfriend. I very rarely end up riding any of these trains I chase and photograph (granted, hard to do when most of them are freight, but hey), so it was certainly a nice change of pace compared to my other adventures.

This, however, did not stop me from bringing my camera onboard with me. When we arrived back at Bongards after having gone well past Glencoe and having the 32A take over for a while, some maintenance was done to the steam engine and we all had a chance to wander the area. Then, it was photo runby time.

Two photo runbys gave me two opportunities for photos, and happily I was able to get something good from one of them. The Milwaukee Road 261 put on one hell of a show as it thundered past. Bongards is where we seem to spend a large amount of time on these trips up north, but it's for good reason. What a fine place for a photo.
