[QUOTE="Spark 317, post: 101781, member: 894"] [URL='https://nickelplateexpress.com'][B][I][U]The Nickle Plate Express [/U][/I][/B][/URL]is home to Train 4214, built in 1956, that has had a history of pulling passenger and ore cars in different states, but is now pulling vintage 1950's style passenger cars on a 15 mile stretch of rail in Indiana as a themed party train that runs on weekends. [B][I][SIZE=5][U]Harry Potter themed passengers boarding the Wizard Express [ATTACH type="full"]11494[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]11495[/ATTACH][/U][/SIZE][/I][/B] [SIZE=5][B][I][U]A few more of 4214 [ATTACH type="full"]11496[/ATTACH][/U][/I][/B][/SIZE] [I][SIZE=5][U][ATTACH type="full"]11497[/ATTACH][/U][/SIZE][/I] [ATTACH type="full"]11498[/ATTACH] The above picture is the rear of the train actually going forward with this little engine leading the way. I'm sure it's not doing much pulling, but it it does have lights, horn, and an engineer to insure the track is clear on it's way back to Atlanta, IN. The train travels for about 10 miles, stops, then backs up. The whole ride is about an hour and a half since the rail is limited. Other towns along the line are pulling up the tracks for trail preparation. Rails to Trails they say. And then possibly a lite rail system in the future. Go figure. :rolleyes: I haven't ridden the train yet, but it would be neat to ride a 1950's style train and cars because they may not be around to enjoy later.
