  • C&NW's Clyman
    Excitement and anticipation were in the air as steam locomotive #261 made the first run of her maiden journey! Milwaukee Road's big Alco had been pulled from the National Railway Museum in Green Bay, Wisconsin, under the direction of North Star Rail in March, 1992. In record time, the 261 was torn down, refurbished, rebuilt and readied for her inaugural run. On September 14, 1993, engineer Steve Sandberg eased the big 4-8-4 back to life in Minneapolis, MN. The Northern type locomotive, painted in high-gloss black, ran back and forth under her own power for the first time since her restoration. She passed her first tests with flying colors and was ready for her inaugu­ ral excursions which were scheduled for the follow­ ing weekend in Fond du Lac, WI. The following day saw #261 on the roae; pulling a short train across Wisconsin Central tracks. She was running at slow speeds during her break-in, but by day three the big locomotive was operating at full track speed, while crowds gathered trackside to cheer her on. North Star Rail put on a great show, kicking off #261 's revival and entry into the steam excursion business. People came by the hundreds to marvel at the magnificent machine thundering up and down the line between Fond du Lac and Stevens Point. Pentrex was on the spot to bring you all the action, including the locomotive's ferry move from Minne­ apolis, as well as its inaugural excursion. This is history in the making, captured for your enjoyment! Join Pentrex in a salute to America's newest steam giant: Milwaukee Road #261 - Rebuilt to Run.

This report provides a fundamental understanding of PPP approaches and their potential consequences on project time, cost, and quality, and presents the results of actual PPP projects performed in the United State through a series of case studies and cameo descriptions. The projects selected for case study vary in type and maturity, and cover the range of private sector involvement associated with different PPP approaches. Each case study explores the reasons why the sponsoring agency elected to pursue the project as a PPP, the structure of the partnership, the nature of project financial and delivery responsibilities, and the issues and impediments that confronted members of the PPP team and how they addressed them to move the project forward.
