Title:
Nickel Plate 587 and 765 Double-header through Fort Wayne

Description:
Nickel Plate 2-8-2 #587 and Fort Wayne's own 2-8-4 #765 double-head through town on their way out to Chicago. The footage was good old fashioned 8mm video. I've done some stabilization on it. I wasn't as steady with a camera when I was in my early teens as I am now :)

I had a Super 8 mm sound movie camera, so I went out and took some shots ...

Norfolk and Western 611 returns
N&W 611 returns with the excursion on Norfolk Southern's Huntington District. She crosses Hugo interlocking and then switches over to the second main. You can really hear when they open up the throttle after the switch is cleared by the engine. It's sad that Norfolk Southern has ended its steam program.
