These trips helped celebrate the ratification of Ohio's Constitution in 1787 and operated between Brewster, Vermillion, Bellevue, Ohio, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Enjoy this rare vintage footage of the 765 operating at speed wearing guest whistle from a Pennsylvania Railroad K4 steam locomotive; see night-time steam running and catch glimpses of Conrail, Southern, and Norfolk Southern freight trains at work. Thanks to Steven Heister for sharing these dramatic moments from his archive.

I LOVE that mars light! I was waiting for years for it to be added back on and when I saw her with it in 2016 I just about peed my pants with excitement! I hope it stays on her forever!
PineTreeLooms Don’t worry. It will.
Heading from New york to Chicago to st. Louis to pensilvania. Welcome aboard the THE CONSTITUTION LIMITED
Thank you for sharing! Love the shots in Vermilion, Lorain, and Wellington. Now I get to hound my family and ask why they didn't know this was going on at the time!
Would love to see a 261/765 doubleheader excursion in Illinois in the future!
Y’all need too release some 1987 footage of the 765 pulling the new river train. And good video by the way! I love that old Nathan 6 chime
Way ahead of you ;)
@@fortwaynerailroad How about releasing a 611/765 doubleheader for the 1984 NRHS Convention in Ohio please? BTW I love that old Nathan 6 Chime and that guest whistle like the PRR K4 3 Chime too!
Matt Gaming I may have been on the 1987 New River trip. Can’t remember the year, but was a great trip!
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw those shots on the W&LE. Made me remember Hopewell Productions coverage of the 1982 trips over that line. Definitely a good stretch of railroad to prove an engine and its crew are capable of quick and efficient movement over a line.
Thank you for sharing this for us I love steam train's this hit the spot
It almost looks like the East Coast version of the 4449 Daylight with the oscillating headlight. It was removed from the 765 in 1988
Nice
Amazing footage! Thanks for sharing! I especially love the shots at Massillon and Beaver Falls.
The 3 chime IIRC was i think the same one used in the rathole trips for the Knoxville convention in 82
What even happened to 765’s old whistle? You know, the one that screeches and sounds incredible! The whistle at 17:06
PineTreeLooms it has the same whistle now I believe, just with a different tune.
Matt Gaming thank you for the reply. That would be so cool if they changed the tune now to this tune from the 80s. It just sounds so majestic and cool!
That old whistle on 765 used to sound like a ghost train from the past!
i love it
🔥🔥🔥🚂🚂🚂
When i saw the 765 on the W&LE i just pictured a real W&LE berkshire in service. IT LOOKS LIKE THE 765 WITHOUT THE NUMBERBOARS
That was a good video but thanks for put this on youtube
The PRR K4 3 Chime on 765’s second valve just definitely sounds like LIRR G5 39 and PRR K4 1361!
Amazing locomotive.
I want more of these films @FWRHS Love the 765 I want a cab ride 😁😍
oh the city massillon is at 1;15 the old pennsy shops in fort wayne had a steam hammer that was made there at massillon foundry, they made many hammers there and machines much like erie, chambersburg ceco, morgan engineering, and niles bemont pond, and other smithing and blacksmith shop for railroads equiptment was made by ajax, and national machine the bolt and rivet makers and bulldozers that would be used to shape things in the blacksmith shop, there was also bradly hammers, and the famed nazel hammers that were self contained air hammers with the air compresser built in, and bell and baudry, though you also had rr shops that cast their own machines such as bass made many of their own machines in fort wayne, and the old mount clare works where the b and o built their own stuff and their home base in baltimore, vertical integrated, but that was a differant time when we made more of our own stuff in this contry just like lima built all the stuff for the locos like 765 pretty much from scratch casting their own frames and making the rods and drive gear, and forming their own boiler and fireboxes, under sheet rollers, a 750 ton flanging press 4 post, and a 17 foot bull riveter to put it all togather I belive it went up to 150 tons of force on the ram, cept for the mud ring those were usually done by hand
Out of curiosity what were the dates for these excursions (I know it happened in 1987 but what days)?
September 1987
I think you meant the U.S. Constitution...Ohio didn't become a State until 1803. Love the footage otherwise...I remember 765 coming through Conneaut quite a bit growing up. Always missed it when NS began running 611 and 1218 on excursions instead of 765.
Why has the NKP 765 been the shops for so long?
Roman Railfans It’s been operating recently every year since 2005 🤓
Where is it now? And will it go back to pulling excursion trains after all this madness is over?
@@fortwaynerailroad when will 765 be due for her next 1472
Where is South Buffalo? Is it by Buffalo, NY?
What if R&N 425 can doublehead with 765 for a future doubleheader excursion somewhere?
Is the second whistle a Pensy 3 Chime?
ALW Productions Check out the description for details.
Ah that’s nice, thanks.
I have a question. If I remember correctly I saw in the live chat something about the date for PTC being installed on 765. Was that a planned date to install it? Is there a future plan? I've been concerned about this for the past several weeks .
There's no planned date for installation.
@@fortwaynerailroad ok. Good luck with that. Hope this year goes well for both 765 and the organization whenever COVID ends!
@@fortwaynerailroad will you still be able to operate 765 under it's own power over NS?
Was 765 turned at South Lorain when running east towards Vermilion?
Where in Ohio was this shot? It looks like Columbus when it was at the station?
Check the description for what details we have.
@@fortwaynerailroad thanks guys, sometimes it pays to READ.
Anybody know what this was filmed with?
So this is the engine for Norfolk Southern steam program correct?
What do you "engine for the Norfolk Southern Steam Program?"
The 765 operated in limited service for the Southern, occasionally as part of N&W's original steam program, and later as a part of Norfolk Southern's 21st Century Steam program.
So its for the modern steam program?
@@texasandpacific610 NS's 21st Century Steam closed in 2015 after Wick Moorman, NS CEO at the time, retired from his position.
@@ArkansasLocomotiveWorks I myself have heard that CP was basically hounding NS with talk of a merger. So that also threw a wrench into it.
how long did 765 wear that mars light in the 80s? A year or 2?
She wore it every once in a while through the '80s, but most of the time she just had the single headlight. 1987 was the last year that she had it on before it was reinstalled in 2016.
About two seasons.
@@fortwaynerailroad why thank you for the answer kinda rare to see a comment replied from the people who own and operate 765 themselves
@@evanf1293 I know for certain they had it on her for the first two weekends of the 1982 season when they ran between Brewster and Bellevue on the Wheeling & Lake Erie. Then came the Southern's lease of her to cover the rest of 2716's schedule, and Bill Purdie took it off and was apparently quoted to say that he didn't see the point of two headlights. I have no clue about 1983. Come 1984 the single beam was put on until the later part of the season, then the dual beam and oscillating headlight were reinstalled, **I THINK, SO DON'T DIRECTLY QUOTE ME ON IT.** 1985 and 1986 saw the single beam come back, the final years she wore it on mainline excursions. Obviously 1987 saw her wear the dual beam and oscillating headlight once again. My guess is that something happened with the oscillating light that put it outta commission, though I could very much be wrong and am willing to be corrected on that. '88 to 93' saw the dual beam stay on by itself. And that's the history of 765's regular headlights and oscillating headlight in her first excursion career. Hopefully this lil essay helped you. I definitely gave my fingers a workout to type this.
Edit: Rewording.
Nice
