2026 Miscellany #10

♩ I hear the train a comin' 
It's rolling round the bend...♩  

First glimpse of Nickel Plate's 765 coming through the trees. This locomotive has made nearly visits to run through Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Its home base is Fort Wayne Indiana. Many people come out to see steam locomotives on the go. In Ohio, this summer this appearance was overshadowed by the first Ohio travel of Union Pacific's Big Boy 4014. I saw it in Lorain, and i may see it on its way back west in July.

♩ If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles...♩
