- The New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad, better known as "The Nickel Plate Road" was famous for its handsome, dependable steam locomotives. One such engine, Nickel Plate 2-8-2 #587 once ram excursion trips.
In this exciting video, we see 587 on one of her premier assignments, hauling the annual "Fairtrain" to the Indiana State Fair. This was a demanding assignment, requiring the locomotive to make several roundtrips per day. You'll see her all along the way as she hustles her trainload of happy passengers to the State Fair.
There's more! 587 was also a roving goodwill ambassador, and you'll see her as she travels to various places around Indiana. This is no amusement park engine puttering around a circle of track...she really gets around!
If you like steam locomotives,, you'll really enjoy watching this fine lady in action!
Features:
*587 hauling the Indiana State Fair Train to Indianapolis.
*Trips to various points in Indiana and Ohio.
*See the locomotive cross high bridges (Shuffle Creek Viaduct and the Tulip Trestle) and go through Unionville Tunnel..
*Enjoy seeing 587 out on the mainline.
*Ride in her cab.
*Ride on-board her train.
*Visit the now-closed Indiana Transportation Museum

What a black steam locomotive. No. 587.🚂
See ya 587
I never see 587 for along time
33:55 587 like "MOVE OUT THE WAY"
I had it when they used to make on vhs, not anymore, now they have dvds and digital blue rays.
I miss 587
YES! Finally found this video! Some of the footage was used in one of my favorite VHS tapes from my childhood: Choo Choo Trains Close Up and Very Personal!
16:41 NKP 587 Whistle same as McCloud River 25 and GTW 4070 and Sierra Railway 3
That would be the Nathan 5 Chime
Also sounds like the Polar Express
00:42:16 I ❤️ that whistle on Nickel Plate Road (2-8-2) #587!!
This is gonna be fun
yep
16:25 here to
2:04 scene from alphabet train is so romantic
I Love NKP 587. I Wish He Was Back In Operation, I Would Have Loved To Have Seen Him.
Hopefully 587 will return someday
@@RailwayProductionsalong with 2716
I have that program on DVD!
yep
So do I. I just got it on my previous birthday.
15:48 is such an incredible scene! Funny how they forgot to turn on her headlamp!
15:56. Choo choo for close perosnal.
NKP 587 5 chime is used mc Cloud River Railroad 25 whistle
NKP 587 whistle has same as McCloud River Railroad 25 and Polar Express and Sierra Railway 3
Not exactly. None of these locomotives shared the same exact model of the whistle. Also the Polar Express train is actually modeled after Pere Marquette #1225 for the computer-generated namesake movie.
Another thing, 587 has a Nathan 5 chime.
587's original whistle cracked.
Wrong
587: I’ll be back!
Agreed
While currently in pieces
@@ricardo3011 currently stored right now after 2716 is finished first.
crazy to see how much things have changed since this video especially in Hamilton county
Bye NKP
This was a pretty cool excursion service journey with Nickel Plate Road 587 pulling the fair train at the Indiana Transportation Museum in Fishers, Indiana. Before it was put out of service in 2002. Norfolk & Western 1218 had also did a great job in this film for just a short time, even though it’s sad the locomotive has discontinued excursion servicing since 1994. However for Norfolk & Western 611, it did a wonderful operation in this film before being put out service in 1994, and displayed at the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke, Virginia for the next 20 years until 2015. It’s still in service to this day. I did got to see the locomotive in operation back in September 5th 2021 at the Strasburg Railroad during it’s visit.
The golden days of ITM. Before Scott Fadness, the fall of ITM and the pointless Trail.
Yep, and the loss of much of their equipment getting scrapped or finding new homes.
@@atsfevan0242just finding new homes, that's all.
Lets goo one of my favorites!
Nickel Plate Road 587 is not yet been rebuilt and who knows when she’ll run again.
But where will she run on in the future?
I’m gonna love this!
is Edith.
yup the last time you stole railway productions copyright
@@MJMTH-camr but not anymore, this year I delete all of Railway Productions Videos from my Channel and I making my own videos now
@@andrewdiesel487 oh that's ok Andrew!!
very nice video
Awesome video yet also sad to 🚂👍😥
yeah me too
I love this video, it's my absolute favorite railroad documentary! 587 is my favorite steam engine in the world. I saw her three times before ITM closed, and I hope to ride behind her at least once in my life.
Glad you enjoyed it!
587 will steam again in the future. It’s just a matter of when
15:50, 18:49 and 21:16 scenes from choo choo trains close up and very personal
Yup I recognize and remember those scenes as well.
That video made me fall in love with trains as a kid
Hopefully in the future we’ll hear some news on 587 as there hasn’t been much news on the engine since 2021 when its ownership was transferred to an anonymous person who is working with KSHC. And while the engine is no longer apart of itm and the museum itself hasn’t been doing the best since the mid 2010s, I do hope 1 of two things will happen in the future. We’ll find out what comes next for 587 and if itm might ever make a comeback
I’m not sure if this is true or not but on the itm website it says there new home is in Logansport.
@@laurie1288 it is
Ok after doing some research I realized that itm can’t run in Logansport
@@laurie1288 yeah, I also heard they've lost more of their equipment. At this point, I feel like they should give up after all that's happened. Not to mention they've lost much of their equipment, some has found new homes and some sadly scrapped.
@@atsfevan0242 it was but people from organizations like ours at the fort wayne and that steam guy from kshs swooped in to try to save as much as we could, it left a bad taste in many mouths that the city did that to the itm, and they ripped up much of the rail cuz they have to have more trails right? cant have both rail and trail so we could have the route to the state fair and something few state fairs have , maybe one day things will get better for the itm but soo many things have to happen and fall in to place and there has to be money opperatunity and volenteers or staff to run it, best way to help make things happen is to get involved some how many hands make light work.
She's in Kentucky's hands now. They do plan to build her back up, but we don't know when.
Sure will be nice to see her back someday!
@@RailwayProductions along with 2716 of course
I doubt that she'll ever return to Indiana again. I worked at ITM 2009 - 2011.
@@stereoplayers Indiana doesn't deserve this beauty of a locomotive. The government here treated her and the ITM so badly, it's not even funny.
The shot at 41:23 isn't actually New Castle, Indiana, but McComb, Ohio.
Agreed
Yes! That’s what I figured. They should’ve fixed that already.
41:33
45:33 NKP 587 Cracked Whistle
This is the first Railway Productions program I have ever seen! Thank you for uploading this and other programs to the channel! Long live the 587! Also, I really hope she gets back to operation.
Scene from lots and lots of trains vol.1 smokin steam & diesel.
I never see NKP 587 for long time
This was my first Railway Productions program I watched as a kid.
Great. The first Railway Productions program I got on DVD was Colorado's Scenic Train Rides.
I see N&W #611 and #1218
Me too
@@Clarissa833611 has returned to steam in 2015.
@@Clarissa833besides I saw 611 5 times
There she is NKP #587 Edith her self.
#fireup587
Agreed
Why is 587 blowing its whistle lots in the video
Because it can
Nice video!
indeed
I heard that this is an amazing video for everyone to watch! Back when nickel plate road number 587 was scrapped
What do you mean by that?
587 hasn't been scrapped. She's currently awaiting restoration/overhaul at the Kentucky Steam Heritage Corp.
@@tobinrowe9558 we agree on that much.
16:55 Polar Express Whistle
Such incredible machines!
Great program. Well put together
What kind of 5 chime whistle is that on 587? Reminds of GTW 4070, McCloud 19 and 25, Sierra Railroad 3 and the Polar Express! 15:56
I'm sorry, I don't know. Perhaps another viewer will chime in.
@@RailwayProductions I think it's a Nathan 5 Chime.
@@RailwayProductions It’s a Nathan 5 Chime
@@RailwayProductions it also sounds like 487

😍😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩
38th Street is right next to the State Fairgrounds.
Are you the official railway productions?
no theyre the official RailwayProductions. common mistake.
I really miss 587 :(
Me Too
I Love This!
Hasn’t 587’s ownership changed recently while in Kentucky? Hope this engine sees some maintenance soon.
It was bought by an un-disclosed buyer who supposedly intends to overhaul it.
Thank you for labelling the "automatic stoker". I never would have guessed.
Not everybody knows what an automatic stoker is.
@@MackeyBigBoy4014 Never seen one in action - on video. Thanks
Really sucks that the ITM had to relocate.
The ITM ended up never actually relocating. They have recently Disbanded.
@@8673Productions Damn.
@@8673Productions
I'm not seeing anything that they disbanded.
@@MackeyBigBoy4014 It was stated that the ITM disbanded in a recently released dvd on 587 by yard goat images so it’s actually public knowledge.
17:03 Lots and Lots of Trains
Cool train video 3 month ago. My name is Ethan A.
Is 1:23 used in the intro?
Yep
This line is gone now correct?
Now a pointless rail trail
Yes yes it is
Some of the line is now used by the Nickel Plate Express where the Indiana Transportation Museum used to be located.
@@MackeyBigBoy4014 although NPE is basically a dinner train now,
587 Was been Back in 1980s
41:24 best part of the double header (yes im back)
41:30 thats the same place that was recorded in I Love Toy Trains but in a different side.
That alternative filming was from the Berkshire Productions video Independence Limited 89
I like N&W 611 and 1218
Edith (NKP 587) Chase sequence from Poppy Playtime Chapter 3(with the addition of Ryker)
(The scene starts with Ryker entering the shop.)
Ryker: Man, this place is really run down. This place hasn't been used for years. These mini NKP Mikados are really crazy. Hope I don't encounter them again.
(Ryker enters the back of the shop where Edith is in a cage, legless. As Ryker begins to walk past him, Edith begins to talk to him.)
Edith: You... You're ITMs angel.
Ryker: Yes, I am.
Edith: Come to save us.
Ryker: I'll try to.
Edith: Nothing left to save, not here...
Ryker: I know.
Edith: You're in the Kentucky Steam Heritage Corps home, angel. Their home. A million pairs of eyes are on you now. Watching, waiting, hungry. They want nothing more than to crawl beneath your skin and eat away at you bit by little bit.
Riker: Wow, so the KSHC is all up to this.
Edith: Fill whatever feels empty inside themselves. That... thing... the KSHC. Kentucky is his god, and this is what he does to heretics.
Ryker: Wait, so Kentucky is the one that's causing all of this? No wonder I've been encountering these crazy trains.
Edith: These little trains follow the KSHC to avoid that very fate, and in return they are fed. We tried to fight it, Kentucky's control. I'm... the last of the NKP Mikados. Listen to me, you need to get out of this place. You need to live.
Ryker: No, I'm not leaving you here. I need to save you.
Edith: You and ITM could fix this, end this madness, the torment...
(The mini Mikados approach Edith.)
Edith: Oh no... OH NO! Leave me. Please. Just go!... RUN! (Screams as the mini Mikados slowly enter him. Ryker watches on horror as the Mikados power slowly overpower Edith, making him choke.)
Ryker: OH MY GOD!!!!
(The power of the mini Mikados overwhelms Edith, turning him into a monster. The strength of the Mikados makes him tear down the cables holding him up, and he slowly crawls out of the cage, crawling towards Ryker.)
Ryker: I got to get out of here! (Ryker turns around and runs for his life, with Edith right behind him. However, with the added weight of the Grab Pack, his running speed is severely limited, giving Edith an advantage. Soon, more of the tiny Mikados appear.)
Ryker: Oh, come on! I knew it was a good idea to not come here. (He shoots flares from his flare gun, scaring the Mikados away. He runs through several buildings until he finally finds an exit. Using his purple hand, he is able to jump over the crack and the door closed automatically. After that, he hears screaming.)
Ryker: Oh my God. Edith is dead. (Despite of what just happened, he must press on.)
17:05.
Check out Bob and Tom re-uploaded their broadcast years back for about 16 minute clip of when they took the steam train to the fair.

The whistle at 41:35 sounds horrible.
What happened?
15:58.
15:58 18:40 kinda sounds like sierra railway #3
And McCloud River 25 and 19, GTW 4070 and the Polar Express also, it’s a Nathan 5 Chime!
GTW #4070's whistle is a Rock Island (CB&Q) 5 Chime
