Feb 12, 2019 · BREAKING - Nickel Plate Road steam locomotive no. 757 is on her way back to where she belongs in Bellevue, Ohio. This marks a major milestone in a long campaign by the Mad River & NKP Railroad Museum to relocate the 757 from her resting place of 53 years in Strasburg, PA to where she was originally supposed to be displayed in Bellevue, along with cosmetically restoring the engine and placing ...

Mar 28, 2025 · I would posit that the 755 in Conneaut better represents NKP High Speed Freight Service railroading in the northwest corner of PA than does the 757 rotting away several hundred miles away. It would be in the long term best interests of the whole rail preservation movement if a second attempt to trade 757 to the Buffalo group for the I1 4483 ...

3 days ago · I just got home from two days working on the 757 at the Railroad Museum of PA with Zach Hall and Dan Pluta. We got the left side rods put back on, spacers installed to take the place of the forked main rod, and some work done on the foundation brake rigging.

5 days ago · NKP No. 757 was moved from it previous location last week to allow the RRMPA shop personnel to relocate other equipment in anticipation of moving PRR B-6sb No. 1670 (0-6-0) into the pole shed for media blasting in the next couple or three weeks.

3 days ago · NKP 757 was never going to get proper attention in our Commonwealth's museum, so sending it to Ohio where a museum desperately wants a NKP locomotive is a good decision.

Apr 16, 2025 · Simply put, NKP 757 fits that mission until otherwise decided. Fans of the Nickel Plate can take comfort in closer to home Berkshires in Ohio and Indiana. This poster, who grew up in upstate New York, was able to see a GG-1 in Syracuse, NY, ride behind steam for the first time (and see a Big Boy) in Vermont, and see an English LNER A4 in ...

Mar 20, 2025 · 757 is running well! On several stops it was found all bearings are showing ambient temperature and it seems to travel somewhat quietly for 400 tons.

Mar 23, 2025 · A group of us from the Mad River & NKP Museum were at the Railroad Museum of PA last Friday and Saturday working on the NKP 757 to prepare it for it's initial move to a track closer to the restoration shop. We added oil to the tender journals, serviced the trailing truck journals, cleaned the cab and generally gave the locomotive a good inspection.
