Steam & Excursion > Nickel Plate 765 Climbs the GradeDate: 08/28/15 18:33 Nickel Plate 765 Climbs the Grade Author: PennRailVideos NKP 765 climbs out of the Wyoming Valley on August 23rd, 2015 in Pittston, PA. This is near the Oak St. crossing. She lost her feet a few times, but regains with avengance, and digs into the old Lehigh Valley grade to Penobscot.

John. Date: 08/29/15 07:00 Re: Nickel Plate 765 Climbs the Grade Author: RBMN-ENGR Correct on the flange greasers being the cause of slipping. We have quite a few of them and the problem was exaserbated by the fact that MOW has them turned up way to high. Even our freight trains have an issue with them!
Chris Bost Leesport, PA Date: 08/29/15 08:19 Re: Nickel Plate 765 Climbs the Grade Author: Tominde Nicely done. I like where you set up in that the whistling was done after the train passed you so that you could hear her working better.
In riding, I noted that there was minimal gratuitus whistling. They didn't whistle at every little crowd or group of people. Some engineers tend to overdo that. Nice work in the cab. Great job recovering from the slip and moving on. Date: 08/29/15 11:31 Re: Nickel Plate 765 Climbs the Grade Author: DocJones Excellentt train handling.
No doubt she was making plenty of steam. Thanks for sharing, Have fun, be safe, Bruce "Doc" Jones Sierra Madre CA Date: 08/30/15 12:54 Re: Nickel Plate 765 Climbs the Grade Author: ns1000 VERY NICE vid.....!! Thanks......
