Recorded on 9/15/18
The Nickel Plate Road 765 steam locomotive has returned to the Chicagoland area
for the second annual event: “The Joliet Rocket” hosted by Metra and the Fort Wayne
Railroad Historical Society. So the A-Train4014 Productions crew heads out to the
Metra Rock Island District to see the Sunday trips starting from Joliet, IL where
Nickel Plate Road 765 pulls the train into LaSalle Street Station in Chicago, IL.
So we went to Blue Island and Mokena for the first run. Then we went to New
Lenox and returned to Mokena for the final run of The Joliet Rocket. Overall,
it was another fun day out trackside capturing videos and photos of the train.
Especially because our crew members: David Dupuis and Aaron Gonzales
finally get the chance to see Nickel Plate Road 765. Even though this video
is only about 6 minutes, it would’ve been a bit longer if we went on Saturday
to see the excursion as well but we were busy at the Illinois Railway Museum
for The Showcase event. Enjoy our video of Nickel Plate Road 765 leading
“The Joliet Rocket”!
