NKP 757 sits on display outside. This Berkshire is to be taken to Bellevue in the next couple of years and there is a possibility it might be restored to operating condition. |

Hands down what was the most shocking to us was to see NKP 757, the resident Berkshire, sitting outside. This is the first time Ive ever seen it, as it is usually kept in the shed. Must have been brought out for the weekend. Its true that TJ brings luck to these trips! |

NKP 765 |
| Description: |
And just when we thoughts things couldnt get any better, we looked down into the INER yard and noticed that NKP 765 was fired up. The locomotive was slated to lead the first Indiana Rail Experience trips of the year out of Angola that weekend. We decided to wait and see what would happen once the westbound got into the yard. Sure enough, when it cleared up, the crew on NKP 765 began to shove east out of the yard. John had never seen 765 in person before, and the excitement on his face was enough to make my day. We moved into Hudson and grabbed the locomotive slowly shoving east by the "Welcome to Hudson" sign. |

Since the locomotive was shoving, it had to stop at every crossing so one of the crew members could hop out and flag the crossings, which made it very easy to get back out ahead of it. Grand Avenue in Ashley was our next shot location. Thanks to colder weather today and strong westerly winds, there was plenty of visible steam and smoke, and it was blowing to the east, so it gave the effect that the locomotive was pulling forward instead of shoving backwards. Strong wind and cold weather sucks, but sometimes it goes in our favor! |

It apparently takes much longer to fill a water tender than either of us thought. John wanted to see the locomotive pull, which I dont blame him for, so we decided to go back to Hudson. We waited and waited and waited and waited and nothing ever happened. We missed a number of trains on NS, including NS 1069 leading an eastbound intermodal. But, the waiting did pay off in the end. We decided to move back to Brightmark where we found the crew finishing up filling the tender, and 358 sitting on the other end of the crossing. Once the tender was filled, 765 shoved and hooked onto 358, the began to pull back west toward the yard in Hudson. The locomotive gave off a nice steam show as it slowly pulled away from Brightmark. |

We tried to make a quick dash back into Hudson to catch the train at the location we were sitting at. But, unfortunately for us, a large semi pulled out in front of us coming out of the truck stop along I69. That extra few seconds would have given us a bit more time to set up. We barely made it back into Hudson, and had to settle for the same crossing we shot the locomotive the first time at. And of course, the sun disappeared. But, it still gave a good show as it passed by! |
