NKP 0-6-0 #58 - Nickel Plate Road |
| Description: |
As a Hoosier, it's always nice when I can post a photo from our Hoosier railraod history! This little yard swticher at the Frankfort, IN, shops now sits in a storage line asa few months early than the photo, it was "laid up" (retired) in March of 1949. This might be one of the last photos of the loco since about a month later it was sold for scrap in June of 1949 to the Purdy & Co. Baldwin built the little switcher in October of 1916 as Nickel Plate Road 0-6-0 #58 (serial #56311). Specs - 57" drivers, 180 psi boiler pressure, 21x28" cylinders, engine wt of 173,000 lb and tractive force of 33,150 lb. The photo was taken by Kahn. |

NKP 6-8-2 #611 - Nickel Plate road |
| Description: |
It's always fun as a Hoosier to post an Indiana-related railroad photo like this one and even better is the fact that it's a new loco for the RRPA database. Here is one fairly nice roster shot of a solid and powerful 2-8-2 Mikado sitting in the Frankfort, IN, yard. Built by Lima in 1920 as Nickel Plate Road (New York, Chicago & St Louis) 2-8-2 Mikado #611 (serial #6182, class H-6b), the loco served for nearly 35 years before being retired and sold for scrap to the Purdy & Company in August of 1955. In April of 1922, a booster was added that increased the tractive force to 64,100 lb. In January of 1926, air pumps were added to the pilot deck. Again in January of 1943, an improved trailer booster was added. Its last run was in August of 1953. No photographer was listed for this photo which is now in my collection. |

NKP 4-6-2 #169 - Nickel Plate Road |
| Description: |
Here is a new addition to the RRPA database and it is a Hoosier location as well! Alco-Brooks built this nice 4-6-2 Pacific type steam locomotive in August of 1923 as Nickel Plate #169 (serial #64636, class K-1b). This is the 2nd #169 that was on the roster. The loco went through several upgrades - in 1925 syphons were applied > in 1926 A.T.S was applied > in 1947 BK stoker applied. The loco was laid up (retired) at Brewster, OH in December, 1953 and finally sold for scrap to Lunz in June of 1954. Rebuilt specs - 74" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 22.5x26" cylinders, engine wt of 255,320 lb and tractive force of 30,200 lb. This is an original photo by Kahn and now in my collection. |

| Description: |
This good looking 4-6-2 Pacific was built by Alco-Brooks in August of 1923 as New York, Chicago & St Louis (Nickel Plate Road) #164. It's always a thrill to me to be able to post a Hoosier connecte train photo like this one. Specs - serial #64631, class K-1b, 73" drivers, 215 psi boiler pressure, 22.5x26" cyldiners, engine weight of 255,320 lb, tractive effort of 32,951 lb. The loco was sold for scrap to the Luntz Iron & Steel Company on 2/14/1953. The photo is from the Howard W. Ameling collection. |

NKP 0-8-0 #294 - Nickel Plate Road |
| Description: |
As a Hoosier, it's always nice to share some Indiana related railroading history like this photo. This beefy 0-8-0 yard switcher was built by the Wheeling & Lake Erie own shops in July of 1930 and originally numbred as Wheeling & Lake Erie #5124 (WLE serial #30). The loco ended up later on the Nickel Plate Road roster as NKP 0-8-0 #294 yard switcher at the Frankfort, IN, yard. Its final disposition is unknown currently but probably scrapped in the late 1950's as diesels took over many of the duties. These were the specs listed on the back of the photo (unconfirmed) - 51" drivers, 180 psi boiler pressure, 25x28" cylinders, engine wt of 219,200 lb and tractive force of 52,500 lb. The photo was taken by Evans. |

NKP 2-8-2 #669 - Nickel Plate Road |
| Description: |
Nickel Plate Road 2-8-2 Mikado #669 sits on a siding at the Frankfort roundhouse yard in this late date of 1963, possibly sitting in a storage/scrap line at this time in its life. Built by Lima in June of 1924 (serial #6860, H-6f class), it lasted to nearly the end of steam in Indiana. The photographer's name was too faint and smeared to read. |
