Hey everyone Nickel Plate here. This is a reupload of the NKP 759 Short Lived Steam Star with minor changes in regards to a small section of the video which was changed due to Copyright reasons. Anyway hope you enjoy this video again~Nickel Plated Productions

Agreed, 759 is a steam engine that should disservice another chance.

I’m late on this video but I rate this 10/10! I obviously agree 759 should be restored!

And the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society should figure out the Firefox Issues just like they did with 2716. And it will be used by a different railroad instead of the 765.

@@anasiacameronelijahedcpndc4324um, 2716 is being restored by another group, the Kentucky Steam Heritage Corporation. They started the restoration process back in 2014, and the locomotive is slated to be restored next year, in 2023. They made a deal to run it on the Naugatuck Railroad in Southwestern Conneticut.

The new kids now are familiar with 765 but if you want to go back where it really started that was 759, She in turn was among the first excursion locomotives in use during late 60s and early 70s

NKP rr Berkshire 759 had a brief but impressive excursion service career, the most memorable trip was the "Golden Spike Anniversary" trip of 1969. Berkshire 759 is no longer in operating condition anymore unfortunately, but this engine was the star attraction of NKP rr steam excursions prior to the restoration of engine 765 in 1979.

Awesome work Nickel Plate! I hope this engine gets more popularity from this!

759 was the original Berk, Thanks to what Ross Rowland and the High Iron Company did with it is the reason why 765 is running

@TheBerkshire759 Год назад

you are correct!

@virginiaoakes124 3 года назад

When I start my own railroad I will start a steam program and 759 will be the engine.

Interestingly, 759 still had her original Bendix train radio cabinet on the tender deck. Wonder if it still worked?

@virginiaoakes124 3 года назад

Best steam engine and nothing will change that

@e-train765 7 месяцев назад

759 walked, so 765 (and others) could gallop. As much as I would love to have 759 running again, it just isn't necessary. That being said, she deserves some attention, maybe not a full rebuild restoration, but a nice cosmetic upkeep on her would be nice; she deserves that much.

Just picked up a rivarossi American Railroads 759 in HO scale (for just $30 too) and I've been on a quest for info about her. I'd love to see her operationally restored and painted back into that gorgeous blue and gold ;)
