I sure do miss 587, she's one of my fav mikados out there. Hopefully, someday, she'll be back and running again.
That will be brilliant!
Its at this point at Matter of its private owner to pull the funds together, create a plan with KSHCO and then KSHCO working on it over a few months to years. Chris Campbell of KSHCO mentioned during one of the Trains Magazine streams during the Ravenna Railfest last year that theres some "I's to be dotted and T's to be crossed before an announcement of the restoration is made." For now, its a waiting game until said Announcement or announcements are made.
That 587 was in Broad Ripple park for years as a display piece and they pulled it out of the park in about 1984 and restored it and it became the Indiana state fair train for years

The real tragedy here is just how many of those Santa Fe coaches got cut up thanks to ITM being stupid
Nickle Plate had the best looking locomotives good video
This film looks like it would be a nice addition to my DVD Collection
Gotta love the screaming whistle she once wore. Beautiful
The best little engine ever restored. Shame they didn't save the other C&O Mike, we lost her in the late 1970s.
587 has a nice gritty whistle
At 6:45, the broken 5-chime actually sounds…decently good. Somehow.
The footage at the timestamp was shot in 1989 during the NRHS Convention activities. At the time it was shot, 587 had already received the whistle off of NKP 624 which it wore up to 2002. Any footage that was shot after the 1989 Independence Limited, 587 was wearing NKP 624's whistle and not its original whistle that it received from Baldwin in 1918 which it wore from 1918 to June 1989 (its original whistle was retired in 1989 and hasnt been used since then)
@@NickelPlatedProductions I thought the broken 5-chime was a CB&Q whistle. That's what I always heard it was.
What a fantastic video. Thanks for sharing! 🔥
As someone who lives in NW Ohio I love it when there's clips from NW Ohio during the ns steam program
Awesome 👏
That broken 5-chime has some nostalgia factor for me. 587 featured heavily in one of the "I Love Toy Trains" VHS tapes so that sound brings me back a loooong way.
For the 1997 versions of ILTT, Tom McComas made a trade with the then owner of Berkshire Productions for copies of the shows. Tom subsequently used footage from Grants Berkshire Productions shows in a number of his Productions (Great Lionel Layouts, I Love Toy Trains, I Love Big Trains,etc.)
2:05 best whistle action
I love you 587 you are the best
587: I'll be back!
I have a place in my heart. For Nickel plate road #587 beautiful time machine #587worked lake Eric and western railroad was apart of Nickel plate road
cool
Ayo the tender’s bigger than 587 itself
It’s off from a sister engine 639 that had stoker problems. Before the locomotive was retired, they swapped tenders in order to keep it operating.
She is the strongest mikado ever!
I wouldn't say strongest...
Great Northern O-8s had the highest TE of any mike, rivaled 4-8-4 territory
@@HematomaFalafalPatrol damn, that's impressive.
@@evanf1293 yep, 80,000 lbs of tractive effort, could single-handedly outpower any berkshire or northern. They also had one of the highest axle loads of any steam engine, over 81,000 lbs. The only engine to surpase that was the C&O Allegheny.
The N&W class J's had the same tractive effort, so the O-8's couldn't out power every Northern.
4:37 I remember this part from another video but at a different perspective.
Lots of people were out there
0:08 I saw that part before
#587 was in major overhaul today after taken out of service in 2003.
Wonderful video :)
Glad you enjoyed
I wonder what happened to the cracked whistle?
1:17 Does anyone know what trip or excursion 587 was on when someone took this shot?
Yes
It’s on the Indiana Railroad. Notice the diesel at the rear.
This was from the October 29th, 1988 Excursion over the Indiana Railroad. That run comprised of a Trip from Indianapolis Union Station to Bloomington Indiana for an Indiana University Football game versus Iowa State that took place on the 29th along with a trip over Tulip Trestle.
@@NickelPlatedProductions thanks!
@@regularguy7266 you are very welcome, glad i was able to help
Clark's Trading Post's Climax is back! Can U go a video on it?
This is 587
Honestly curious on what half of the beginning shots look like now. They still in use or abandoned?
The shots in the beginning were shot in September & October of 1988. The coal train trackage to the Indianapolis Power & Light plant is still in service (but the locations are not as distinguishable) along the shots on the Indiana Railroad is still in service as well just not used as much. I don't know if trackage used footage the Independence Limited or NRHS Convention activities are still active or not.
Hello! Loved the vid, was wondering if I could use a clip. You will be credited as necessary
❤
Will the 587 ever run again?
If they ever finish the rebuild
