Info:  The Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society Inc. is an all-volunteer award-winning organization dedicated to preserving, displaying, and operating historical railroad equipment relevant to the steam era in the midwest. Formed in 1972 to preserve historic steam locomotive no. 765, they've operated special passenger excursions hauling over 100,000 people through 16 states covering 52,000 miles for over twenty years. They recently endeavored to completely rebuild no. 765, which was originally built for the Nickel Plate Railroad in 1944, and the locomotive is now ready to reach thousands more. You can get more information on their website at www.traintown.org They are currently getting ready to take no. 765 on some excursions in North Judson Indiana, so it's very possible we may be able to get a first hand look at how these big steam locomotives are started.
