Last night, I found this nifty video of Nickel Plate 2-8-4 engine 765 being broken in after a complete rebuild.

Engine 765 is owned and operated by the Ft. Wayne Railroad Historical Society, and also happens to be the engine that’s shown in my blog header now.

Addendum: I also found out today that during this last rebuild, 765’s drive wheels were repaired right here in Chattanooga at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum.
