Apr 18, 2025 · What is the status of the NKP 624 Mikado that the Fort Wayne Historically Society planned on or did move? I have been unable to find any info and the last time anything was posed was in 2017. Where is she currently? Is she at or around theFort Wayne shop with 765? I am just curious of the current whereabouts of this loco. Thanks! -NS6770Fan

Mar 11, 2025 · She is not involved in this deal, and should not be confused with NKP 765, also owned by the Fort Wayne group. Potentially, the Fort Wayne display will eventually include a Wabash 0-6-0, NKP 2-8-2 624, NKP 2-8-4 765, an NKP SD9, plus several lesser items.

Apr 16, 2025 · This included NKP 2-8-2 #624. I know of a couple of individuals that left the organization for one reason or the other, but I think the NIRPS does still exist. I don't know how active they currently are, of if they have made any progress with …

Apr 17, 2025 · In reply to all the posts about the tender swaps of the NKP, the strory in Trains magazine back in 1989 stated that the the 587 had been retired but another Mike that was still in service, (either 639 or 624, I can't remember), had a failure to it's stoker so the shops just swapped tenders instead of repairing the stoker.

Mar 30, 2025 · Consider: NKP 624 is being moved, 757 is being traded, 765 is operating and doing good, theres'a thread about a NKP trail, NKP 587 is being rebuilt. Just saying... "It's only impossible until it's done."
