Posted by Darryl Rule on July 28, 2010  Actually the 757 escaped the torch and survives at the PA RR Museum at Strasburg, PA. Great shot though! Posted by JL Scott on July 28, 2010  Good old Nickel Plate shot. Real good actually! Posted by Dennis A. Livesey on July 28, 2010  Just 58 days before, on July 2nd, 1958, No. 746 (an S-2 Berk) took the last Nickel Plate steam locomotive mainline freight from Bellevue to Conneaut OH. Posted by notch8ornothin on July 29, 2010  This is an unbelievable shot. Impossible to accurately recreate, no dash 9's, no widebody of any sort, just three examples of the classiest looking steam engine's ever produced. This is one of the best shots on this entire website to me, there's no manufactured nostalgia here at all and that's simply amazing. Posted by Terry Chicwak on July 29, 2010  Classic. Thanks for posting. Posted by Jeff Sell on July 29, 2010  Excellent photo of NKP's finest! Posted by David Albers on July 29, 2010  Not sure which I'm more in awe of, the cars or the engines. Excellent shot! Posted by Charles Freericks on July 29, 2010  Um... hold on amount... I need to get my pulserate back down to a level where I can type properly so that I can make an intelligent comment... thanks so much for posting. Posted by Kurt Lawson on July 29, 2010  Awesome shot! Perhaps one day in the near future we will have 3 berks up and running. Posted by John Higginson on July 29, 2010  This is a great historic shot. The Berks looked good with twin headlights.
