Milwaukee Road 261 is a S3 class 4-8-4 "Northern" type steam locomotive built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in Schenectady, New York in July 1944 for the Milwaukee Road (MILW). It was used for heavy mainline freight and passenger work until being retired by the MILW in 1956.
For example, a 1 ⁄ 4-inch to 3 ⁄ 8-inch adapter allows sockets with 1 ⁄ 4-inch drive holes to attach to a 3 ⁄ 8-inch ratchet, and so on. Universal joints are two articulated socket joints (about 1 inch (25 mm) long) combined at a right angle, that allow a bend in the turning axis of the wrench and socket.
Today, the locomotive is owned, operated, and maintained by Minneapolis-based nonprofit organization Friends of the 261, which runs occasional and seasonal excursion trains using the locomotive. Milwaukee Road 265 was retired in September 1956 and donated to the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and sat the on display until 1975.
