It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! Today's image goes back to Michigan and the Steamfest I went to where I was able to see several famous steam locomotives. This is Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society's 765. 765 is a Berkshire type, 2-8-4 locomotive, named after the mountains it was used in. &65 was built in 1944 by the Lima Locomotive Works. It retired in 1958, donated to the city in 1963 and then sat in a park until 1972. It is now powered exclusively by volunteers for use in it's educational programs.
