Celebrate Engine no. 765 Day, October 28-30th

On October 28th, we'll celebrate six years of having the 765 under steam after its major rebuild. Declared as "Engine 765 Day" in Fort Wayne and Allen County in 2005 by county commissioners, the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society will host a special fall open house at its restoration facility in New Haven. Beginning Friday, October 28th, the 765 will be fired up for display and operation. Caboose rides will be offered Saturday and Sunday.

We own and operate a living time machine:
Nickel Plate Road steam locomotive no. 765.

For 30 years, our 1944-built 400-ton goodwill ambassador has rocketed through the midwest as passenger excursion motive power, teaching tool, and magnet attraction as one of the last mainline steam locomotives in operation in the world.

An award winning, all volunteer non-profit corporation we are proud caretakers of history that inspires the senses and quickens the pulse.
