Watch as our volunteer crew made up of veteran railroaders, experienced mechanics and new recruits wrangle our 200-ton steam locomotive back on the rail. This was no easy way to spend a Saturday. For those curious, the boiler was filled with compressed air to help move the locomotive and the 765 was temporarily renumbered “767” to honor the engine’s unique place in history: http://fortwaynerailroad.org/2016/08/…
