Remarks & Notes

This is steam railroading as it should look like; no diesel behind the tender! NKP 765, in the magnificent amphitheater that is the Horseshoe Curve, created astounding music as it thundered up the grade. It has been a long term dream of mine to see a great steam locomotive on this famous grade. I therefore thank you Norfolk Southern and Fort Wayne Historical Society! P.S. Thanks to Casey for the inspiration.
