Title: NKP 765 2-8-4 may travel through Frankfort in July

Jim Wrinn wrote the following blog on TRAINS Magazine weekly summary about the July excursion of NKP 765 across Indiana:
•Nickel Plate Road 765 spokesman, promoter, and documentary film maker (see the incredibly moving video “Listen for the Whistle” if you haven’t already) Kelly Lynch tells us the Berk’s July 18 and 19 trips may have a routing twist to them. Instead of a direct point A to point B journey on the former Wabash main line from Fort Wayne to Lafayette, the outing may become a circle trip, going one-way via Muncie and Frankfort on home NKP tracks. If that happens, it will be the first time for the S2 class on this part of its home road, thus completing the entire available NKP track in the 765’s logbook.
