All of the shots in this video of the first run of the 2011 WFMS Indiana State Fair Train. It is operated by Indiana Transportation Museum.
(FIRST VIDEO IS IN 480p due to a bad camcorder!)
It departed Fishers Indiana at 8:30 a.m 8/5/2011. The first and second shot was at the same time with two camcorders. One was across the street from the station. The other one was the second crossing (Fishers Pointe Blvd). The third was the train going northbound past 75th steet and Knue Road. The final shot was when the train pulled into Fishers Station. I had to jump out of my car to start filming! The consist listed from southbound to northbound is:
NKP 426(GP7-L)-NKP #1-Budd Coaches-Burlington Parlor(Generator Car)-ITMZ 200 (GP9)
I remember taping the train numerous times at that exact same crossing (Fishers Pointe Blvd.) in the 2nd clip when I still lived in Indiana. Great times! Thank you for this video! It brings back great memories; and it's good to see the Fair Train is still going strong.

@PghTrainFanatic Thank you soo much! I helped install a new pair of superchargers in the NKP geep. I helped do a whole check up on the blue geep (ITMZ 200). I am surprised both engines are still going strong! Thank you once again for the great comment!
