Nickle Plate 765 is Back in Service

Photos from OGR Forum, posted by Zach Marlow. Check out these videos! 765 Returns to the High Iron. Last Train from North Judson Even though the speed limit is only 10 mph in La Crosse, 600 amps of dynamic brake from that F40-2 diesel on the rear plus a minimum reduction on the train air can add enough load to make her really bark! The Sweet Sound of Steam!

That Loco was nothing more than a Pigeon bathroom in a downtown park when I first moved here in 1970.

In my opinion the NKP berkshires were the most beautifull steam locos ever made…as a kid I saw a speeding NKP#759 on an excursion train…totally awsome. Thanks for posting,Dave
