Previous Youngstown area steam trips/travel.

NKP 765 ran excursions out of Youngstown to Pittsburgh in 1985.

NKP 765 disguised as "C&O 2765" ran through Youngstown 1993, on an Akron to Pittsburgh trip on CSX.

Thanks Rich. Never knew about the 1985 trips, was that on Conrail or the P&LE?

The '85 trips were on the P&LE, and we ran that trip twice...84 and 85.

Here's a digitized 8mm film from my first steam trip ever, behind 765 on one of those '85 trips between Youngstown and Pittsburgh.  To this day I remember the first time I saw the 765 as it passed alongside the train before departure, and the quiet that befell the car as we passed through the F3 tornado damage resulting from the '85 tornado breakout that had recently occurred May 31st.  Overall it was love at first sight, sound, and smell!

Some movie cameras had no sound. We had one back then. On old train movies that were converted to VHS tape, or now DVD they would dub music and train sounds into it, I watched some demos at my local train meet. Like old Reading Ramble videos, the filmer used a silent movie camera so when the films were converted to video they added music, narration, and train sounds like chuffs and whistles.
