Southbound NKP 765 and NS Employee Appreciation Train |
| Description: |
Nickel Plate 765 smartly steps over the Sangamon River Bridge and out of a foggy Decatur, a former Wabash Shop Town, leading NS Train 099 on the NS Brooklyn District after an overnight layover on its way to St. Louis for employee appreciation excursions. 765 rolling around the distant curve was the first time I had ever laid eyes on it and I probably won't soon forget that. Trailing the steam engine are the NS's ITC and WAB Heritage Locomotives. Shot on black and white print film. |

Southbound NKP 765 and NS Employee Appreciation Train |
| Description: |
The whistle from 2-8-2 Mikado WAB 2202 echoes out across the countryside as the Nickel Plate 2-8-4 Berkshire #765 passes the Wabash Searchlights on the NS Brooklyn District at the north end of Taylorville with NS Train 099. The whistle sounded eerily similar to the one Frisco 1522 used to carry, and brought back memories of a September 10 years ago, when 1522 ran its last excursions. Trailing the steam engine are the NS's ITC and WAB Heritage Locomotives. |

NS 1070 - NS 1072 and NS Employee Appreciation Train |
| Description: |
The 9 A.M. Employee Appreciation run of NS Train 099 pulls out of NS Berkeley Yard behind the WAB and ITC Heritage Locomotives. The train will pull east behind the signals and then highball west behind NKP 765. It was great to meet Andy Fletcher, the artist who first adapted these old schemes for modern locomotives last year and submitted the idea to NS CEO Wick Moorman for the NS 30th Anniversary. NS quickly went from being one of the most boring Class 1s to one of the coolest. |
