Of course the Nickle Plate didn't become part of the N&W till 1961. <br />7/18/1959 The last NKP steam engine in service, the 212, is laid up in Conneaut <br /> <br />http://nkprr.railfan.net/history.html <br /> <br />No. 3985 last operated in "regular" train service in 1957. It was retired in 1962 and stored in the roundhouse in Cheyenne, Wyoming, until 1975, when it was placed on display near the Cheyenne depot. A group of Union Pacific employees volunteered their services to restore the locomotive to running condition in 1981. <br /> <br />http://www.uprr.com/aboutup/excurs/up3985.shtml
