Nickel Plate Road
I wish it was! However, this is not my photo, just my photo of a photo (or painting?) by K. Walden, date unknown.
The associated caption reads "Nickel Plate Road ; Berkshire ; 2-8-4 ; circa 1940". As I understand it 779 was photographed somewhere along the Trinity and Brazos Valley Railway that connected Fort Worth and Dallas with Houston and Galveston.
Apparently, close relative Nickel Plate Road # 765 is still running at Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society, Ohio. Another close relative is under restoration, also in Ohio.
They must have been a sight to see and a sound to hear.
