Nickel Plate Road 2-8-4 No. 765 has been in Bellevue many times over the years. One of those visits occurred on May 12, 2013, when it pulled an excursion train into Bellevue from Rocky River.
That would have made it a total NKP experience given that the track used for the excursion once belonged to the Nickel Plate.
Bellevue was a major service point for the Nickel Plate and during the steam era the 765 and other Berkshire-type locomotives were frequent visitors there.
In the photograph above, the 765 is on a former Wheeling & Lake Erie line to Toledo with the Mad River & NKP Railroad Museum in the background.
