The Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society plans to move Nickel Plate Road No. 624 from Hammond to Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The 2-8-2 Mikado-type steamer is owned by the city of Hammond and will have a new home in the Headwaters Junction complex that the FtWRHS is building.
No. 624 will need cosmetic restoration to return it to its appearance when it was operational.
It is not clear yet if the 624 will be restored to operating condition.
