The FWRHS released this statement on Facebook: "The Mikado-type locomotives were used in Nickel Plate freight service for over three decades and were the original workhorses for the railroad before Berkshires like the 765 came online. No. 624, pictured here, traveled more than one and a half million miles - the equivalent of more than 60 trips around the earth - before being donated to the city of Hammond in 1955. We think it could stand to go a few more. Stay tuned."   I guess we'll just have to wait and see if the engine is in good enough shape, but it seems they would like to get it running again. Very Exciting.
