NKP 4-6-4 #173 - Nickel Plate Road |
| Description: |
Smoke deflectors added in May of 1946 and the white sidewalls gave this beautiful Alco-Brooks built 4-6-4 Hudson a European locomotive look. Shame the profile was cut off. The loco was built in March of 1927 and served well through the years. Unfortunately this beautiful machine was sold for scrap on March 31, 1961. No date, location or photographer was listed on this older reprint. |

NKP 752 Getting Serviced |
| Description: |
A brave man this Nickel Plate Road employee is for wearing all white while serving a steam locomotive! Nickel Plate Road Berkshire #752 is seen getting service at the roundhouse in Bellevue, Ohio on Sunday August 18, 1957. I wonder if this man knew that the end of steam on the Nickel Plate was about to end forever in about a year's time. Photo by James Pope. |
