Steam Loco in NW Indiana?

I live in Calumet City, IL, just a couple miles from the yard at Plummer Avenue. I can hear the trains real good from here. At about 1703 today I heard what I think was a steam train whistle. Sounded like it came from the north end of town. Any Steam Locomotives passing through NW Indiana, Calumet City yard or Brainard Avenue Yard?

The Fort Wayne Society NKP 765 was running around on trips this weekend. You may have heard her coming home from the weekend.

Thanks. Yep, that is the one. My brother and I will try and see #765 this weekend--supposed to come through again. Thanks PajRR!

Wow , this is one sleepy place on the forum. How come no one posts on this one?
