As many railfans in the northeast know, Memorial Day Weekend for 2013 was to be one of the most exciting weekends this year! Why is that? Well, the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society made a return to the Pittsburgh Line for the Horseshoe Curve Special, a special public excursion led by their ex-New York, Chicago, & St. Louis (Nickel Plate Road) #765, a beautiful 1944 Lima-built S-2 Class 2-8-4 "Berkshire". The FWRHS, in partnership with Norfolk Southern, Mid-America Railcar Leasing, Iowa Pacific, and the Washington DC Chapter NRHS, would take passengers from Lewistown, PA over the scenic Pittsburgh Line to the famous Horseshoe Curve, which is considered to be the 8th engineering wonder of the world! Along with NKP 765 are two of Norfolk Southern's "Heritage Units", ES44AC's #8098 (painted to represent Conrail) and #8102 (painted to represent the Pennsylvania Railroad), providing help to the train. Now, please watch as this beautiful maverick of steam traverses the scenic Pittsburgh Line presented to you by Blue Comet Productions!
