Looks like they just sent out a second email with all the spelling and grammar errors corrected.Hogger1225 wrote:Gee PAT, you just had to post that with the at least 6 or so spelling and grammatical errors!
So they are talking bringing the 765 up the Ann Arbor Railroad from Alexis Junction? I know that many years ago, the Bluewater Michigan Chapter wanted to run the 765 on that line, but the bridge in Dundee supposedly couldn't support the weight of the Berkshire. However, the 587 was light enough that it didn't cause any problems.TrainWatcher wrote:Cuyohoga Valley is first. Wait until then. Routing will prolly be NS to AA @ Alexis just like last time. And with the new NS Steam Program, and 765's run to Trainfest from N. Judson, 765 led instead of the diesel. I would guess that may happen this time.
And here it was going by the depot at 288 on the way up to Alexis for the hand off:TrainWatcher wrote:Did the exact same last year. Watched the handoff from NS to AA at Alexis Jct. Myself, along with a few people from the board.

It was handed to NS at Milan for the return to Ft Wayne.dti407 wrote:TrainWatcher wrote:Did the exact same last year. Watched the handoff from NS to AA at Alexis Jct. Myself, along with a few people from the board.
Ummm...I thought it went up the Wabash. Was that a different move?
Yes - and both ferry moves were well documented by members of railroadfan.com!TrainWatcher wrote:The summer of 2009 for Trainfest, NKP 765 came via Ft. Wayne-Milan.
Fall 2010 came from Cuyohoga Valley via NS and handed off to AA at Alexis.
You guys think it will run on NS this year without a diesel on the point? I'm gonna assume there will be a diesel until I hear otherwise, but with the NS Steam Program, I suppose it's possible.TrainWatcher wrote:Cuyohoga Valley is first. Wait until then.
