NKP 765 - 10/05/2015
Author: refarkas

To celebrate the first public showing and running (as far as I know) of NKP 765 on September 22, 1979, here are two photos taken many years later which highlight her beauty.
Here are two recrops/redos of NKP 765 heading west on a ferry move on the W&LE in Copley, Ohio on October 5, 2015. At the time she was still allowed to move on her own without a diesel on the point.

As a person who spent that afternoon trackside on Ryan Road, you really captured those first movements. So grateful to my dad who would take my brother and I out to visit “the boys” after church on Sundays. As a result, I personally witnessed the rust fly off the drivers on the very first move. Thanks for posting!!
