Nickel Plate Road's Berkshires were some of the last steam engines in regular service. I think they lasted until about 1957. Nice look at the past

I have been watching RFDTV lately and there last 4 shows were on the Nickel Plate 765 and it running excursion Trains over the last 20 years. I thought it fitting to show another of those engines doing what it was designed for. Its to bad that the sounds are not more like a Lima built Berk as they are also good sounding Locomotives, as they were saying in the show it has a shotgun exaust.
I would have had a few more pictures than that but I derailed it shortly after I took that picture. I guess I need to put 50 coal cars behind it to keep me from going to fast lol.Don Pottorff
