Steam & Excursion > NKP #765 visits Wisconsin June 12 and a Look BackDate: 06/25/16 19:25 NKP #765 visits Wisconsin June 12 and a Look Back Author: kschmidt626 Finally getting around to putting up some photos from the NKP #765 visit to Wisconsin on June 12th. It was a great trip even though the weather didn't cooperate like the forecast said it would OH WELL !! A BIG THANK YOU to the NKP #765 crew and WSOR/WATCO for allowing the trip to happen. Great to see the #765 anytime. Here are some shots from the day.

Shot #2 - Just departing Fox Lake crossing a small channel Shot #3 - With a stiff wind and temps in the 60's #765 crosses Hwy 120 just entering into the Badger State Check out more photos on Flickr at https://www.flickr.com/photos/22338037@N04/ Keith Schmidt Keith Schmidt Milwaukee, WI    Date: 06/25/16 19:28 Re: NKP #765 visits Wisconsin June 12 and a Look Back Author: kschmidt626 Shot #4 - The Highway X bridge at Bardwell Jct sprouted some weird kind of plants, they were very short lived though

Shot #8 NKP #765 glides into the small Wisconsin town of Zenda Shot #9 The #765 passes a classic Milwaukee Road style switchstand in Zenda Keith Check out more photos at Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/22338037@N04/ Keith Schmidt Milwaukee, WI    Date: 06/25/16 19:36 Re: NKP #765 visits Wisconsin June 12 and a Look Back Author: kschmidt626 Shot #10 Save the best for last. At a semi rural crossing at Kuhn Road west of Fox Lake WI #765 upsetting the EPA but WHO CARES !!
Shot #11 #765 lays down a classic "smoke turd" Shot #12 - Looking back 31 years at NKP #765. Here in St Francis/Milwaukee, WI on the CNW Kenosha Sub. I believe it had pulled a Chicago Chapter NRHS special up to Milwaukee. The train was turned on the wye at St Francis while riders were bussed to location attractions. After 31 years #765 has aged very well.

The EPA doesn't care but it made for an attention getting title Keith Posted from Android Keith Schmidt Milwaukee, WI Date: 06/26/16 15:45 Re: NKP #765 visits Wisconsin June 12 and a Look Back Author: kevink Looks like you were standing right next to me at Zenda!
