NKP 731 on the Pit |
| Description: |
It's Sunday August 18, 1957 as Nickel Plate Road Berkshire #731 sits on the service tracks in Bellevue, Ohio. None of the NKP's 80 Berkshires were built with Mars lights. The bracket and Mars light were added to brand new 779 in 1949 for the Chicago Railroad Fair. The entire fleet of 112 Berkshires got them in 1950-51 and ran with them on until the end of steam in 1958. In less than a year, all steam on the NKP would be done. Photo by Jim Pope. |

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. |
