NKP 2-8-2 #624, Nickel Plate Road (New York, Chicago & St Louis) |
| Description: |
Fifteen of these were built by Lima in 1922 as a class H-6d with 63" drivers and developing 200 psi. One of only three preserved NKP 2-8-2's, this one was donated to Hammond, IN on 9/13/55 and is still there but in much worse shape. The photographer C.W. Burns noted on the photo back "One of the first engines given to a city for display. Now in sad shape, but are trying to fix it up. Also will fence it." August, 1970 reprint. |

Bathed in the morning sun, Nickel Plate Road 624 (2-8-2) looks good from the distance but enmeshed in weeds around its wheels. |

Up close, its face shows the ravages of the years - missing parts like the bell, light and number plates, amd more serious, cancerous rust holes |

| Description: |
The Nickel Plate Road 2-8-2 sits across from the Hammond Civic Center as it has since 1955. Vines now encircle its wheels and the cab window sill hangs loosely in a forelorn way. |

NKP 624 |
| Description: |
From a distance, the Nickel Plate Road 624 looks like its on a local run through downtown Hammond like it used to do over 70 years ago. Sthll a testament to the skill of thousands who designed, maintained and ran these puffing giants of steel. |
