Ride BEHIND NICKEL PLATE ROAD

Join us for a ride on the stunning private railcar "Kitchi Gamma Club" behind the Nickel Plate Road Steam Engine #765
‪@fortwaynerailroad‬ has been running excursions this year on the Indiana Northeastern Railroad between Pleasant Lake, IN and Hillsdale, MI, with their steam schedule concluding with the Fall Colors Steam Special Oct. 19 & 20, 2024!
First class service aboard the Kitchi Gammi Club included drinks, a French toast breakfast, and charcuterie box for snacks! Our car was the closest to the locomotive, with only the FWRHS Tool Car and Auxiliary Tender between our seats and the engine!
The ride back from Hillsdale to Pleasant Lake also included a phenomenal Photo Run-By! These were common place on steam excursions across the US until the 90's or early 2000's. Kudos to Fort Wayne and the INR for including the Ru-By! It's a great opportunity for passengers to get a view that's not possible from their seats on the train!
