NKP 765 at Train Expo 2014

That is great news. Looking forward to the event.

Great news Rich!

 

I can't wait to see her again.  I will have to sign up for the excursion!

 

I have already signed up for two sessions of the night photo shoots.

There ya go...more product to sell!

I hope they do the morning session they have hinted on their site.   Would love to photograph a photo freight.  

During the Photo runbys, can we throw water balloons at Rich? 

At the end of June in that hot cab he'd probably welcome waterballoons. It might be better to use eggs or tomatoes or somethin'.

I'd prefer if you threw money...

Great news, I'm going to have to get there for sure.

Hi Rich,

 

I have color slides of the 765 that I took in the summer of 1985,  while she was steaming through the old P&LE yards in Mckees Rocks near Pittsburgh.  Also during a stop at Station Square in Pittsburgh.  Were you at the controls during this trip?  I am in the process of having the slides processed onto dvd and hope to have them during train day at Patricks house next Saturday.

 

Regards, Nick 

Rich, do you have any ideas as to a rough estimate on ferry move dates for 765?  Would you leave the day after the Expo is finished, or hang around for a while?  I imagine nothing is set in stone...

Yes, I ran on several of those trips.

No, I don't have a "...rough estimate..." on ferry move dates. I know the EXACT DATE of every ferry move we will make this year. But they won't be publicized.

Are you going to be running at night anywhere to get there and back?  That's the kind of "run by" that just might pull me back East for the first time.

Given the long hours of daylight at that time of year, I doubt that any of these moves will be made at night.
