NKP 765 to Return on Memorial Day Weekend

Nickel Plate Road 2-8-4 No. 765 is slated to return to the rails in late May as part of the 2023 season of the Indiana Rail Experience.

The Indiana Rail Experience said the 765 will help pull select excursions that will include an ice cream train out of Angola, Indiana, on Memorial Day weekend.

Other events set for this year include all-day excursions to Hillsdale, Michigan; wine and whiskey trains; a railroad open house featuring steam and diesel locomotives at the Indiana Northeastern shops in Hudson, Indiana; and fall colors and Christmas trains.

The ice cream trains will operate on May 27 and 28. Tickets will go on sale on April 19. Some excursions will be pulled by diesel motive power.

Ticket classes include coach, first class, lounge and dining car seating. Group packages and private rail car charter packages are available.
