Published 2024-05-14
Nickel Plate Road 765, a 1944-vintage, Lima "Berkshire" type steam locomotive, is operated by the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society. In 2015, we followed the locomotive to Leipsic, Ohio on its annual test run.

    Awesome Trains Daryton what is what a NKP 765 fantastic Video.
  • Rolling coal on the Nickel Plate. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. The NKP is my favorite granger. Always loved the numbering style on the engines. Is there a name for that script style? And big thank you to Drayton for this impeccably put together content.
  • Thank you!! That was a wonderful video!! I loved every moment of your fabulous video!! And what a beautiful thing a steam special is!!
  • Most British locomotives have their running numbers on the smoke box door. It’s nice to see that there are some differences between English locomotives and American locomotives.

    Love to watch steam trains! Thanks for the video!
  • What class of locomotive is this one? The one I watched at Shelbyville Freight Yard was hauled by a Big Boy.
  • And by the way, what’s a Manifest Freight train? I’ve not heard the expression for quite some time!!
