Not one but two Van Sweringen Lima-built 2-8-4 Berkshires are slated to run this year. Nickel Plate Road 765 of the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society and Pere Marquette 1225 of the Steam Railroading Institute have long kept the memories of a bygone age alive plus making new ones every time they run. One of those memorable times was in August of 1991 when the two locomotives raced each other through Hurricane, WV on the old Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, the former stomping grounds of their Kanawha cousins. As seen here is this photo from our Digital Archives. Will you be riding or seeing either of these legends this year? In October you’ll have a chance celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the NKPHTS in Angola, IN with a ride behind NKP 765 and the restored SD9 No. 358 at the NKPHTS 2024 Convention . Register online with the links in our bio and story, you won’t want to miss it. #nickelplateroad #nkp765 #limalocomotiveworks #trainride #railtravel #traintravel #steamlocomotive #steamengine #locomotive #railroad #steamtrain #railway #trains #railroadhistory #oldtrains #trainspotter #trainspotting #railfan #diesellocomotive #sd9 #historicpreservation #scenicrailway #scenicrailroad #indiana #railroadphotography #railwayphotography #trainphotography #nkp358 #peremarquette1225 #chesapeakeandohio

Throwback Thursday - “Where it all began” September 15, 2018 in Robbins, IL. The “Joliet Rocket”. I went with 3 friends on my first railfan trip to chase NKP 765 on Chicago’s Metra for their Joliet Rocket excursions. Since I had off work Saturday, I elected to go just to see what this was all about. Before this, I’ve never seen a steam excursion, nor did I know much about them & what purpose they serve. Since this experience, I was hooked. My interest grew & my photography skills improved since then. Although, it’s not the best photo, nor is it the worst, but it was the start of something that I’ve maintained an interest in for almost 6 years now. #railfans_of_instagram #railfanning #railfanning_america #nkp765 #trains #trains_worldwide #trains_of_instagram #trains_featured #trains_everyday #trains_of_america #railroadphotography #railroad #railroads #pocketrail #railsupremacy #steamlocomotive #steamtrain

Guys and Gals we want to say THANK YOU!!!!! Our first ever Militaria and Living History show was a great success and we’re definitely doing another one next year. Our vendors and attendees gave us great feedback and we made notes for the next one on how to improve and grow. We are so beyond blessed to have such an amazing team and community behind us. As a personal note from myself (Matt Martini, Director and Founder of Lauer Farms 1944) this is shaping up to be our biggest year ever and I cannot thank everyone enough for all the support and patience you all have shown myself and my staff over the past 5-6 years. We are constantly pushing the envelope on what the Company (Lauer Farms 1944 LLC 501c3) is supposed to be and what we want it to grow into. My running joke is we are a mobile museum in the back of a 1943 Dodge WC-63 but all of you and the other organizations that have shown up and let us work with you keeps myself pushing forward. Personally I can’t wait to show you what the future holds for our company. . . . #lauerfarms1944 #educationpreservationhonor #livinghistory #thingstodoinlima #LimaOhio #ww2reenactment #johnnyappleseedmetroparks #dayoutwithfriends #nonprofit #mvpa #omp #nkp765 #limalocomotiveworks #fortwaynerailroadhistoricalsociety

When American Freedom Train No. 250 receives its flying number boards, they will bear a striking resemblance to those of @fortwaynerails' Nickel Plate No. 765! Members of ASR recently visited the storied excursion locomotive for measuring and documentation of these appliances, which will be used to fabricate exact working replicas. We're confident they’ll look perfect on our engine, as the original AFT No. 1 also wore replica flying number boards from the Nickel Plate Road Berkshire! Coupled with their longtime friendship, Fort Wayne Railroad’s 52 years of success in preservation has laid the groundwork for ASR and many similar organizations. Help No. 250 join No. 765 in the family of operating steam with our BRAND-NEW line of AFT merchandise: www.americansteamrailroad.org/product-category/aft250 or the link in our bio!

Photo of the week Thursday March 7, 2024: I, Robert Jackson, took this picture of the special Norfolk Southern “Employee Special” excursion train July 28, 2012. This was my 29th B-day! They ran two trips, each between Toledo, Ohio and Maumee! It is heading back to Homestead Yard from Maumee, Ohio! Crossing the Maumee River. What a great B-day this was for me! This is the last of two roundtrips! What a great “30th Anniversary” NS has done—awesome that steam has returned! Since 2015 NS cancelled the steam program.

The fellas at the hardware store call this color "Dark Diversion", we call it Nickel Plate Blue! We take pride in getting our signs as close to the original standards as possible, but sometimes there's just some curve balls. The NKP standards have been somewhat of a mystery, it seems like each district had it's own style of sign and color, which makes nailing down the details nearly impossible! This specific sign takes inspiration from a Nickel Plate depot in Erie PA. Probably isn't the official standard for the company, but it's definitely a favorite.

Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society's Nickel Plate Road 765 works northbound just past Angola with the Indiana Fall Color Train in October 2023. 765 is a Berkshire type steam locomotive built in 1944 for the New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad, commonly known as the Nickel Plate Road. The engine is capable of 4,500 hp and top speeds approaching 80 MPH. . . . . . @fortwaynerails @nkphts #fortwaynerailroadhistoricalsociety #NKP765 #NickelPlateRoad765 #indianarailexperience #nickelplateroad

Throwback to 2011 at that year's Train Festival in Rock Island, IL. This was the first major rail event I ever went to and trying to drag my parents out of the hotel each day was a chore and a half, especially on the second day when Nickel Plate Road 765 was to pull its all day excursion to Bureau Junction, IL and back. I wanted to ride this trip, but for some reason, mom book Riverboat tickets instead. 🤦‍♂️ I managed to get them out and to the grounds with minutes to spare to watch the train depart. @fortwaynerails #nickelplateroad765 #nkp765 #nickelplateroad #fortwaynerailroadhistoricalsociety #fwrhs #trainfestival #trainfestival2011 #steamlocomotive #steamengine #steamtrain #railroadphotography #railroad #rail #railfanning #railphotos #railphotography #railpictures

#ThrowbackThursday — Leading the Greg Brown Slide Collection in 2024 is this May 1991 image of Nickel Plate Road No. 755, posed at the place it has made home since 1964, the Conneaut Railroad Museum. Outshopped from the Lima Locomotive Works in August 1944, the 755 led the Nickel Plate's second order of S-2 class Berkshires that year. Aside from a rollover wreck in Erie in its first year of use, it led a fairly unremarkable service life crisscrossing freight throughout the system. Like most of its sibling engines, it was outfitted with modifications such as a Valve Pilot speed recorder in 1947, a Mars Light in 1951 and a radio and third turbogenerator in 1955. Originally retired in the twilight of 1957 at Conneaut, a projected traffic surge early in 1958 prompted the 755's return to the Conneaut locomotive shops for overhaul. When this traffic surge never came to pass, however, the 755 returned to the deadline in pristine mechanical condition. The same occurred to several Berkshires, and two of them survive: No. 759 at @steamtownnhs and No. 763 at @ageofsteam. No. 759 has since been operated, and No. 763 has twice been considered for operation. Being a zero-mile engine naturally made the 755 a prime candidate for preservation in Conneaut, where it was spotted along the ex-Lake Shore & Michigan Southern on October 14, 1964, and where members of the museum still keep it in pristine condition. The engine nearly got a reprieve from display when it was considered to power the 1975-76 American Freedom Train as a doubleheader with the aforementioned No. 763, but different locomotives were ultimately selected. Its superheater units were removed for use on operating sibling No. 765 in 1981, after its original units failed during the previous operating season. According to reports from @fortwaynerails volunteers at that time, a copy of the local newspaper from May 1958 still laid in the 755's combustion chamber.

My second video this week is now up, Best of Railfanning 2023: Part 1, link in the bio! Enjoy my best catches of the year from January to July. During this time, I went to chase the 765 on the Indiana Rail Experience. During the Summer BBQ Train between Hamilton and Stuebenville 765 would stop and they would do photo runbys. This was the runby on the side that was better lit. #nickelplateroad765 #nkp765 #nickelplateroad #indiananortheasternrailroad #indianarailexperience #berkshire #berkshirelocomotive #limalocomotiveworks #steam #steamtrain #steamengine #train #railfan #railfanning #railfans_of_instagram #railfanning_america #midwest #midwestrailfanning #summer #summer2023 #summerrailfanning #indiana

As I continue to promote both of my Best of Railfanning 2023 videos let’s go back to October. On October 7th while chasing Nickel Plate Road 765 on the Indiana Fall Colors Train, I would hike into the Bankers S Curve and get this shot of 765. In an almost meadows like area, this was one of my favorite shots of the chase. #nickelplateroad765 #nkp765 #nickelplateroad #indiananortheasternrailroad #indianarailexperience #berkshire #berkshirelocomotive #limalocomotiveworks #steam #steamtrain #steamengine #train #railfan #railfanning #railfans_of_instagram #railfanning_america #midwest #midwestrailfanning #fall #fall2023 #fallrailfanning #pleasantlake #indiana
