Steam Heroes of Owosso. Photos resulting from rail charters and events predictably tend to focus on the equipment, with the people as supporting elements. So for a change, let's turn the tables and let the equipment support the folks who made the Lerro Productions charter happen. On the left, representing the Steam Railroading Institute, here's the crew of Pere Marquette 1225. On the right, representing the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society, the crew of Nickel Plate Road 765. Gentlemen, thank you for a great show, and thank you for being such great custodians of these historic treasures!
Images from two Lerro Productions events, 10 years apart: 2009 and 2019. The 2009 featured a 31-car freight and NKP 765. The 2019 trip showcased just the 1225 with the Steam Railroading Institute's passenger consist.
A tribute of appreciation to the workers who maintain the track, keeping our railways in shape regardless of weather and danger, and keeping them running effeciently.
