Nickel Plate Road 765 - Indiana Fall Colors Excursion 10/7/23

On a cold October weekend, I made my way up to Indiana for the first time to see Nickel Plate Road 2-8-4 765 in action as it pulls the Indiana Fall Colors excursion from Pleasant Lake, IN to Hillsdale, MI and return. This excursion was sponsored by the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society (FWRHS) as part of their Indiana Rail Experience on the Indiana Northeastern Railroad.

Awesome video! 24:35 I was standing in the photo line at Montgomery with you.

[@csxnstrainman]

Thank you! I noticed from your vid too! They were really rolling through there coming back.

@@csxnstrainman yeah. The Owner of the Indiana & Northeastern was at the throttle, hence why they were doing like 30.

That whistle sounds like the one from the 80s!

[@csxnstrainman]

Probably closer back in the early 80s

[@malebothomas1988]

He is right it sounds like 1980 whistle it also sounds like in 2019,2020,2021

[@alexfarrell5533]

Wait! Is 765 wearing her 2009 whistle?

[@csxnstrainman]

Yes it's just tuned differently
