Chasing Nickel Plate Road S-2 Berkshire

Today we went to Northern Indiana/Ohio to see Nickel Plate Road S-2 Berkshire #765. On out way up, we were on a overpass where we saw #765 down the tracks. We went to a crossing near Steubenville, IN where we could see it down the tracks. It was stopped and after waiting there for a little while, we found out that the train was waiting for a freight train to go by so they could back up and go to Edon, OH. We went down to Steubenville where I just was able to see NKP #765 go by. Then we chased to a dirt road crossing. In the lead of the train was Nickel Plate Road SD9 #358. We then chased it to Edon. After the train stopped there, the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society Crew layed down sheets in the middle of the tracks. NKP #765 pulled forward and dumped ashes and suit on the sheets. Short Background on NKP 765: NKP 765 is a S-2 Berkshire with a 2-8-4 wheel arrangement built by the Lima Locomotive Works of Lima, Ohio in September of 1944. It was built for the New York, Chicago, & St. Louis Railroad otherwise known as the Nickel Plate Road. The Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society acquired 765 in 1973 and restored it to operation condition. It now runs often. The Federal Railroad Administration requires steam locomotives to have an entire rebuild/inspection about every 15 years. The 765 was last rebuilt, I believe in 2005. If I’m not wrong, its next rebuild should be around 2030 or 2031. If you want more info on NKP 765, go to Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society’s website. They have a very detailed description of the locomotive.
