Military reenactors Ken Hoelscher helps Tyler Kostyla up onto the nose of NKP 765 during the evening/night photo shoot at Pleasant Lake, IN, on August 31st, 2024, during the Rolling Victory Weekend. During World War II there were military crews that ran and maintained this locomotive, from what I’m told.
According to their website: Rolling Victory was a three-day living history event celebrating American military, railroad, and home front history featuring vintage train rides, World War II reenactors, battles, a big band orchestra, and an immersive and educational experience for all ages in Pleasant Lake, Indiana.
