The "Silver Palace", one of the newest additions to the Friends of the 261's fleet, was out and about for not only a set of weekend trips but also two weekday evening ones. Here the car is awaiting passengers on a special run for Loram. I never thought I would see a "California Zephyr" alumni in St. Louis Park. |
