Steam & Excursion > Nickle Plate Limited departure time from Calumet City?

Please post the departure time of the Nickle Plate Limited steam excursions from Calumet City on May 10 & 11. It will be much appreciated!

I'm pretty sure the only people who know that information are NS division level managers and top operations at the FWRHS. They are being tight lipped about things this year. I would be really surprised if any info "official" info comes out.
Maybe an employee with tickets will share the info.

I figured as much. But eventually someone will leak this state secret.

Back in the days of Norfolk Southern steam trips, they always kept the locomotive and train set at the former NKP Calumet Yard & Engine Terminal. I didn't realize that "Calumet City" had anything to do with it.

We have posted on our website:

The Nickel Plate Limited
MAY 10th & 11th CHICAGO (CALUMET) – ARGOS, IN

This employee appreciation special will operate between Calumet, Illinois and Argos, Indiana. These trips are operated for the employees of Norfolk Southern and not open to the public. Departure times will be added when possible.

Likewise, our most likely routing: http://fortwaynerailroad.org/track-765/

Not very tight lipped if ya ask me ;)

When these are confirmed, we'll post them.

Similarly, these times have been known to change in the past. Right now all we have our on-duty times, not departures.

Thanks ... most helpful!
