765 Ferry move across Ohio | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

For the last couple days NKP 765 presented fans with some great opportunities for photography and memory collection. Here are some selections from my activities. On Wednesday I got off work in Cleveland and drove to Sandusky Bay. I got there with 10 minutes to spare. The amusement park in the background is Cedar Point, note all the roller coasters. On Thursday I had a another commitment to attend to in the morning, but made it to Willoughby, Ohio before the train. My thanks to everyone in Willoughby who cooperated to keep this vista clear of parked cars, etc to create a classic image.The rest of the day was a blur, but a happy blur. Make sure to troll U-Tube for video of the 765 climbing the hill out of Ashtabula. It was an awesome performance by Lima's finest and her crew.

And the 765 running on cruise control through Perry, Ohio using very little effort and very little smoke from its stack. Notice the camera shake sitting on its tripod as the locomotive shakes the ground as it passes by.

The "box car" is really a generator car for passenger car lights and air conditioning.
