| Milwaukee Road 261 stars in a movie | |||
| The Milwaukee Road 261 steam engine made a trip from St. Paul to Chicago and back in May for a cameo appearance in the movie Public Enemy, starring Johnny Depp as the infamous John Dillinger. The producers needed a steam engine, and using Hollywood creative liberties, cast the 261 (made in 1944) and its entire matched set of Milwaukee Road passenger cars for some scenes at Chicago Union Station set in the 1930s. I was able to catch the ferry moves, inbound May 15 and outbound May 21st, in Wisconsin and Minnesota. What a treat to see this beautiful train in pure Milwaukee dress! | |||
