NKP 587 "She's A Survivor" Tribute

This is a tribute to NKP 587, Produced to co-inside with the forthcoming NKP 587 Documentary revamp coming to the channel in the coming months. This tribute also includes a high quality version of the incredibly hard to find NKP 587 song "The 587...She's A Survivor!", produced by Lejo Harmeson in 1984 for the Indiana Transportation Museum. It was originally made available as a 45' single & distributed by the Indiana Transportation Museum to support the First Restoration of NKP 587. It was also featured in a video, produced by the ITM Steam Department called "The Return Of NKP 587, "She's A Survivor" that documented 587's rebuild, test runs & it's 1988 operating season. Said video (although not complete) can be seen here: • The Restoration of NKP...

Fuckin needed this today lmao

Wow, what a hidden gem of a video. Just out of curiosity, is this documentary revamp coming as a result of or to raise funds/hype for 587's future restoration? I only ask because it would be pretty cool to see something like this done for the Juniata's Jewel documentary, in conjunction with Pennsy 1361's restoration or when she makes her first excursions. I wonder if there was or could be a song written about 1361's first restoration or the tumultuous path the engine has traveled leading up to the current, and hopefully longer-lasting restoration and operation of Juniata's Jewel.
