Historic steam locomotive no. 765 is a high-stepping, fourteen-wheeled, time machine that stands 15 feet tall, weighs 404 tons and can go over 70 miles an hour. It was one of famous class of steam locomotives called the Berkshire; one known for its “superpower” technology and aesthetic charm. Powered exclusively by volunteers as part of the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society’s educational programs, the locomotive has been restored to its original appearance and sound, as it was when it was built by Lima Locomotive Works in 1944. The 765 remains one of only a handful of mainline steam engines that still operate in North America.
This is a photograph of the 765 steaming through the Peninsula Depot on it’s way through the Cuyahoga Valley.
