Southbound NKP 765 and NS Employee Appreciation Train
Title:  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.

NKP 765 and NS Employee Appreciation Train
Title:  NKP 765 and NS Employee Appreciation Train
Description:  Nickel Plate Road 765 sits at NS Berkeley Yard after a day of running down from Decatur, IL as NS Train 099. A pair of Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society Watchmen are up on the engine keeping her hot through the night and were very accommodating to our requests for the headlight, numberboards and classification lights to be on.

Thanks to FWRHS's Kelly Lynch, George and Tyler Kester, and Steven Harvey, among others for their comradeship. Taken with permission from NS Corp. and Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society.
