Remarks & Notes

A good 'ol fashion runby! It's 1958 and the Nickel Plate Railroad is about to retire #765 but not without one last hurrah. Fans gather by Carland's Elevator with their Rolleiflex, Kodak and Bell & Howell cameras hoping to forever capture a moment of history. Thanks Nickel Plate - may she be reborn and run again. And, she was. Interestingly - she's been with the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society longer then she had been with the Nickel Plate Railroad itself.

Pace and pan shots of trains from on the ground or in the air. If you're not in the locomotive cab or on-board the train, it's the next best thing to being there.

A collection of engines, cabooses, cars, etc., great and small that are past their prime, but represent a spirit of railroading that will never pass away!!
