NKP 765 engineer Grant Geist talks watches as military reenactor Ken Hoelscher poses 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 actually 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.
