NKP 759 in 1956 |
| Description: |
Nickel Plate 2-8-4 #759 leads a freight train through Knox Indiana. The 759 would later become a famous Excursion engine in the 1970s, but when this photo was taken, in November of 1956, she was just another Speed Demon Berkshire hauling the Nickel Plate's Fast freight.

NKP 2-8-4 #759, Nickel Plate Road (New York, Chicago & St. Louis RR) |
| Description: |
Standing proud among other locomotives, NKP 759 can hold its own. With the Union Pacific tender in the background, it makes me think this might have been at the original Steamtown USA at Bellows Falls, VT. Can anyone identify the roundhouse in these photos as being the Bellows Falls location? |
