Remarks & Notes

It is 7:30 in the morning and Nickel Plate Railroad S-2 2-8-4 Berkshire No. 765 stretches it's legs getting ready for the work of the day.

No. 765 is one of the finest steam locomotives every built and we are so fortunate that the incredible crew of the Fort Wayne Historical Society and the largess of Norfolk Southern have made this miracle occur for all of us to enjoy.

I first saw this machine in 1988 and the thrill never ends.

Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.
