Grab your conductor's whistle and captain's hat for the inaugural RiverWay 2006 Sept. 14-17. A 150th anniversary celebration of the first railroad bridge built across the Mississippi River, RiverWay offers train and boat rides — you can take day trips on the 1940s Milwaukee Road 261 steam engine and the Celebration Belle riverboat.
