765 Arrives in Owosso while 1225 and 63 help make some noise! July 21st, 2009

765 gets into Owosso around 5:30pm. 1225 and 63 which were already there help 765 give an Owosso salute! Sorry about the shakey video, forgot my tripod.

it looks like its leaving....is it? or is it going to a place that it is arriving at

[mikerm19]

It was arriving into the SRI shops. I was down the tracks a bit. When it got down there it switched over into the gated area.

surrounded by steam, is a very good thing

[mikerm19]

You sir, are VERY correct. :)

Wow, 1225 must be happy to his old friend NKP 765 again.

@manga12 I dont know what realy brings me to steam. I feel a connection with my grandpa everytime im on 765. 765 and her sisters, as well as hundreds of other kinds of steam trains, used to run right alongside my grandpa's home! My mother was also born a year before the NKP retited their berskhires. There is a lot of enjoyment in working on steam. For a farmboy, working on trains comes naturaly, especialy since i grew up along the railroad tracks.

Troy what is your attraction to steamers, I was just kind of born into it being from a train town north of fort wayne, so I did not really have a choice and my family were railroaders back in the day and age my parents were kids.

I just well liked the old steam trains like my grandpa used to pilot, they have more moving parts and are fun to look at not to mention the later model ones are just as strong if not more powerful then modern locomotives, its just the steamers are resource intensive

That day was so much fun I really hope you can do it again real soon.

@GoldenCreekValleyRR 1225 burst a flue Friday morning. It was around 1 am when it happened.

[GoldenCreekValleyRR]

@trainmandan05 "Yeah i'm sure."

[supergodzilla33]

now if the got the 755 running again that would truly be magical

They are greeting another survivor. Each steamer is glad to be alive and well. Also seeing others of their own kind makes them happy. after all, they dont get to see other operating steamers often.
