As we celebrate our 50th anniversary in 2022, let's look back at our very first steam excursion 42 years ago this month!
This silent, 8mm footage was recently acquired and scanned in high definition, though the photographer is unknown. It features Nickel Plate Road steam locomotive no. 765 operating west on the Norfolk & Western out of Fort Wayne through Huntington, Wabash, Peru, and Logansport, with additional footage at Monticello and Reynolds, Indiana, and Washington Hill on the Toledo, Peoria & Western Railway. After its initial restoration in 1979, the 765 ran from Fort Wayne to Bellevue, Ohio where it spent the winter. The following spring, test runs for the locomotive were scheduled on the Toledo Peoria & Western, where the locomotive operated in freight and pusher service for several days. The locomotive's first fan trip was held on May 10th and May 11th between East Peoria and Keokuk, Iowa, and East Peoria to Effner, Illinois.
