The Varsity Steam Excursion



The Varsity Steam Excursion
Recorded on 6/12/16


This is the day that I have waited for since high school graduation. Prior to the journey, I picked up my friends, Branden Phillips and Jacob Brugioni in the morning to get the team assembled. On the other hand, Branden’s parents will be in various locations including Fox Lake getting videos and pictures while we chase it from Lake Forest to Fox Lake which is a 30-35 minutes drive. Surprisingly, we beat NKP 765 to Fox Lake. Based on numerous information, we found a cool spot to film The Varsity leaving Fox Lake while it crosses over the Route 12 bridge. When NKP 765 departed Fox Lake, I went home for a while and then came back to Fox Lake after grabbing lunch. Finally, I returned to Lake Forest to catch it in time. Overall, the day was awesome that I didn’t want to end. Thank you to Franklin Park, Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society, the Nickel Plate Road 765 crew, and my crew: Jacob Brugioni and Branden Phillips along with his family getting other perspectives.
