  • I agree but, steamers are very labor intensive, and have more moving parts then a diesle electric loco, on top of the fact that its bigger and there are even fewer of them then the lima berkshires like this one, there has to be enough interest and effort to do it, yes with the plans one could be rebuilt but you cant just go out and get the parts for them, it would be very costly if the ones left are even in good enough shape to try to put back together, and awareness for such things go up.

  • @trucker765 I know it's been a while since you posted this comment, but you have an awesome idea. I'd like to see a Big Boy running freight as it was intended, rather than the excursions that Big Boy cousin  Challenger #3985 has been running.

  • They spent 24 million or more on a Transformers movie, but they can't spend 2.2 million restoring a Big Boy steam locomotive. Pathetic. But I love the 765 though, it's a beast of an engine too!

  • @falzonbr shes been running mainline for 4 years now, this video was made about 5 years ago

  • When can she run mainline trains again?

  • I heard the NKP 765 will be pulling mainline trains again. I can't wait to see more picture and videos of her soon.

  • @CSX6000 u bet she is!

  • @xxxDeath9572xxx 765 is owned and operated by the Ft Wayne Railroad Historical Society. NS has nothing to do with her restoration except for transport of materials needed and busing 765 to and fro.

  • why is the 587 taking soooooo long. come on itm. i want you to doublehead with the 765. or triple head with the 1225 and 765

  • Yes, in the fall.
