1993 Independence Limited featuring Norfolk & Western 611, Nickel Plate Road 587 and 765

Trips covered are the inbound 611 trip to Fort Wayne and then doubleheaders with the 587 and 765 from Fort Wayne-Chicago, Chicago-Argos, and ferry move from Chicago back to Fort Wayne.

You almost got 12 year old me and my Dad on film filming in the pouring rain at Knox but you switched to the opposite side of the tool car at the last second. You did however get a shot of our late friend Chuck taking video at Knox, it was an awesome day of chasing! Great memories!

Aweosme coverage of these 3 Beauties. Kinda sad 587 has been in pieces for such a long time, but it is what it is.

It would be awesome if 765 reunites with 611 again for a second time since 1984! Who agrees with me?

[@UnofficialJTBE1225]

To be honest 765 & 611 doubleheader is the most forgotten and underrated in the American Railroad Doubleheader History. But I wish 765 & 611 see each other again.

@@UnofficialJTBE1225Probably because Pentrex and Greg Sholls didn’t cover that excursion.

​@brianfalzon6739 a little secret; they doubleheader twice. First in '84, second tike in 1993.

This is by far my favorite excursion with 587. What I would give to see these two repeat this in the coming years.

10:47 The second and last time both 587 and 765 met 611 before the NS steam program discontinued.
