NKP 731 and NKP 752 Getting Serviced |
| Description: |
It's Sunday August 18, 1957 and three Nickel Plate Road Berkshire steam locomotives are fired up simultaneously in one photo! In this photo taken in Bellevue, Ohio, NKP #752 can be seen receiving serving on the right, while NKP #731 and a collegue, NKP #726, I believe, are waiting their turn on an adjacent track to the left. Photo by James Pope. |

NKP 731 on the Pit |
| Description: |
It's Sunday August 18, 1957 as Nickel Plate Road Berkshire #731 sits on the service tracks in Bellevue, Ohio. None of the NKP's 80 Berkshires were built with Mars lights. The bracket and Mars light were added to brand new 779 in 1949 for the Chicago Railroad Fair. The entire fleet of 112 Berkshires got them in 1950-51 and ran with them on until the end of steam in 1958. In less than a year, all steam on the NKP would be done. Photo by Jim Pope. |
