On Saturday Afternoon, the Nickel Plate Road 765 Berkshire lead the Joliet Rocket excursion, from Joliet to Lasalle Street Station in Chicago. This video shows the train at Tinley Park Metra Station, featuring drone shots. The steam powered machine is seen here chugging along at track speed with the whistle blasting, an awe inspiring scene. Enjoy the video and stay tuned for more clips from the Joliet Rocket!

Fabulous video!!! Thanks!
Nice,thanks for posting.
Great to see these old machines under full steam and doing what they were built to do.
Thanks for sharing. Great work with the drone too.
Nice video, however there is nothing like crossing gate bells to destroy the beautiful sounds of a well running main line steam locomotive.

I agree, the kids in the background didn’t help much either. I got more video of the stack talking that I will post soon.
