NKP 587 arrives in Atlanta, Indiana. Nickel Plate Road # 587 is a coal-burning steam locomotive built in September 1918 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for the Lake Erie & Western Railroad, later absorbed into the Nickel Plate Road, and passed this historic house, built by Asher Goodrich Walton, many times during its active service. 587 is currently being rebuilt: http://itm.org/equipment/nkp_587.htm

  • @Kleman09 Actually, the tender with 624 was switched out in 1955 by the Nickel Plate. The 624 needed an operating tender, and 587 just need a "show tender" for display in Broad Ripple Park. So yes, this IS a mikado tender.

  • @Strasburg1991 A specific date hasn't been set yet so it might take a while. The group who is dedicated to restoring NKP 624 is called NWIRPS and their president is named Kevin Heggi. The group is selling T-Shirts for $17.80 (including shipping and handling) that support the restoration of the locomotive. I contacted a guy named Ryan Kertis to get my NKP 624 T-Shirt.

  • @dragonpullman when will she oprate again the 624

  • I'm not sure if a lot of people know this, but there is an effort dedicated to restoring another Nickel Plate Mikado in the form of NKP 624.

  • @Kleman09 oh ok. wait... STUPID DVD! this dvd told me it was from a mikado. gosh! friends at itm told me it was from a berk so ya.

  • @GoldenCreekValleyRR wrong. The tender she has is actualy from a berkshire. #624 has not been touched for some time.

  • @nkp765ful you are correct about the berkshire tender being on 587. The tender belongs to a long scrapped nickel plate berskshire. Not sure of the number, but more than likly it belongs to an s2 class berkshire.
