.@NickelPlate765’s 15 year career on the railroad meant it spend plenty of time in Bellevue, Ohio. Just over 20 years after steam had been retired on the railroad, the locomotive would spend several seasons at its old stomping grounds #ThrowbackThursday

Happy 77th Birthday 755!

755 is the oldest extant #NickelPlateRoad S-2 class 2-8-4 Berkshire in existence. It rolled out of the #LimaLocomotiveWorks on this day in 1944. Today 755 may be seen at the Conneaut Historical Railroad Museum.

Imagine the conversation that 802 and 225 must be having in the Norwalk, OH yard circa 1956. Now imagine the conversations you’ll have at the upcoming 2021 NKPHTS Convention! https://t.co/jBxgAylciR

#NickelPlateRoad 751 makes for a great photo while speeding through Larry, OH circa 1957. Check out what looks to be a Delaware Lackawanna & Western “Route of the Phoebe Snow” boxcar right behind the tender.

627 and crew strike a pose for the photographer in the Conneaut, OH yards circa 1939. Built by Lima in October 1922 as a class H-6d 2-8-2 Mikado, based on the popular USRA design, 627 would serve the #NickelPlateRoad until 1955.

It’s the summer of 1960 in Yellow Creek, OH and steam powered trains no longer grace the rails of the #NickelPlateRoad. Instead a trio of GP9s led by #804 are powering this freight train across the Wheeling Division.

Please consider joining today! https://t.co/sA3NY4MZp9

Carl Childs strikes a classic railroad engineer pose with his hand on the throttle of #NickelPlateRoad 175. This photo was taken on 5-18-58 on an excursion chartered by the Buffalo Chapter of the NRHS from Buffalo, NY to Cleveland, OH.

Welcome to the Bellevue Roundhouse September 1957. Four 2-8-4 Berkshires can be seen in this photo with the famed @NickelPlate765 center stage backing off the turntable. Mad River & #NickelPlateRoad Museum is home to sister 757 which you can see this weekend!

[NKPHTS @nkphts]

Happy 50th to @Amtrak! While passenger service on the #NickelPlateRoad was long gone by the time of the formation of #Amtrak it is still worth celebrating.

Seen here is NKP Alco PA 188 making a stop at Rocky River, OH in May of 1958.
