Doubled up my efforts on this next pan - PM #1225 & NKP #765 together at 1/6th

You grab you cup of java, a few donuts and you stake out your spot

early in the morning, before the sun even rises getting ready to catch 

the early morning parade of heavy freight manifest trains out of the 

yard and onto the main.  In this case, just another day in Indiana, or 

perhaps Ohio, and the first train out the gate is a double header led 

by NKP #765 with PM #1225 along to assist.  

 

Were efforts successful in merging the C&O, NKP, Erie and the Pere 

Marquette?  Or was the PM Berk on loan to the NKP?

 

In actuality, this was a scene recreated by the Steam Railroading

Institute (PM #1225 group), the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical

Society, Great Lakes Central (current line owner) and Pete Lerro

of Lerro Productions during a truly spectacular photo charter held

in Owosso, MI during the last weekend in August, 2009.

 

Enjoy!
