Steam Right On - 16mm Documentary of NKP 759 and "Project 765" | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I recently unearthed from the archives and had digitized a beautifully produced documentary on Nickel Plate Road no. 759's revival. The Fort Wayne Railroad Society had edited its copy for fundraising presentations and added in footage from its own burgeoning restoration effort.

Read the story of how the 759's brief revival helped inspire the 765's own restoration.

Can't wait to see what the Fort Wayne crew has in store for 765 this year. Conneaut Railroad Museum, home of sister 755, is set to open this weekend. 759 was certainly a trail blazer.
