Step back in time April 25, 26, 27 and May 2, 3, 4 and experience the power, beauty, and thrill of a true American icon. The Nickel Plate Road steam locomotive 765 is returning to CVSR for the highly anticipated Steam in the Valley! This year's event will feature two open air cars along with "run by" photo opportunities at the Brecksville Station. Once a fast-freight and passenger locomotive for the New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad, built by the Lima Locomotive Works, the 765 is now a celebrated ambassador of American innovation. Owned and operated by the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Railroad Society, this marvel of engineering has been meticulously restored to its original 1944 glory by the dedicated team at the Lima Locomotive Works.
The 765 is one of only a handful of operational mainline steam engines in North America. Its visits are rare, and its presence is a testament to the enduring legacy of steam railroading. This isn't just a train ride—it’s a living, breathing piece of history!
