Stunningly beautiful!

Really nice but some flags on the locomotive would be a great enhancement.  ;>)

Preferably large flags, LOL!

Nice photos; thanks for sharing them.  FWRHS means the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society, for those who need to know, thank you.

These are the type of flags being referred to as an 'enhancement'.  :^)

Since we weren't portraying an extra, but instead a regularly scheduled Nickel Plate freight from the day/time/era...we opted to holster the flags this time out.

Understood and appreciated.

I consider the "extra" flags to be a nice touch when running on the main lines (as an extra).
The NICTD South Shore also continues to display white lights when they run "extra" trains.

The photo with the two large US flags has green lanterns. Were these intended as "another section follows" indicators or did NKP use them for some other indication?

Great series of shots..thanks for sharing.

Great shots of 765, the crummy, and the Hudson.  What year was that Hudson?  About 1950?

Thanks! The vintage Indiana license plate is dated 1949, so my guess is a '49. The Hudsons have beautiful lines. 

Is that the legendary Hudson Hornet?
