The Fort Wayne Historical Society does not generally publish/announce ferry moves, at the specific request of the Norfolk Southern RR. I'm sure Kelly Lynch will post information about the ferry move at the appropriate time.
will 765 be going through Toledo on it's way to Cleveland ? thanks
This was posted yesterday - https://twitter.com/FortWayneR...s/906944850662215685
Also I always look at this - https://www.heritageunits.com/...motive/Detail/NKP765 anyone who spots the 765 will post and if she was on the move, someone would of spotted already. I say it will be tomorrow or Wednesday when they depart.
As I recall, W&LE can't use steam anymore unless that was lifted that they can now? Now last year, they took the NS Fort Wayne Line and then onto the NS line (I believe named Fostoria District) to Fostoria to head east and went onto the Chicago Line, went east through Berea on into Cleveland and then got onto CSX tracks to head south passing under the 480 Valley View bridge, onto the CVSR.
Now that's what they did last year, so I'm assuming they should do the same thing this year.

No. Where the 765 is, is at New Haven Indiana along the Fort Wayne Line which doesn't go near Toledo. Only way they would go through Toledo is they would have to depart between Fort Wayne and New Haven and head north on the line that connects to the Chicago Line at Butler. But I doubt they would take that route.
thanks Tom Jr. i would like to try to see 765 when it is moving, do you have an idea of the route it would take on it's way to Cleveland, thanks for your time and info, Brian

Brian, your welcome. The routing actually I mention in my first response this morning above. My idea is Fort Wayne line then onto I believe the Fostoria District through Fostoria Ohio onto Bellevue, head north or east and get onto the Chicago Line and head east through Berea into Cleveland and then somewhere to get down to the steelyards to head south on CSX to get to the CVSR.
But this routing I'm just guessing this year. It could be another route. I'm just going with what they did last year. So the routing could change for this year.
thanks again Tom Jr. hopefully I will get to see her on the move !!!
