NKP 2-8-2 #587 - Nickel Plate Road |
| Description: |
Great shot of Nickel Plate Road (New York, Chicago and St. Louis) 2-8-2 #587 at Logansport, IN during its initial fan trip after restoration. This 2-8-2 light USRA Mikado was built by Baldiwin in August of 1918 originally as Lake Erie & Western #5541 (serial #49683). When the NKP purchased the Lake Erie & Western in 1922, the loco appeared as NKP 2-8-2 #5878. The loco was "laid up" (retired) in March of 1955 and then donated to Indianapolis on September 7,1955 for display at the Broad Ripple Park. But the story doesn't end there. In the 1980s, no. 587 was restored to operating condition and went on to operate public excursions for 11 years. From 2003 to 2018, the locomotive was being restored by the Indiana Transportation Museum (ITMZ) in Noblesville, Indiana. However in 2018, the museum was being moved to Logansport, Indiana, forcing No. 587 to be stored in Ravenna, Kentucky by the Kentucky Steam Heritage Corp. Since its arrival in Kentucky, NKP 587 has been sold by the Indiana Transportation Museum to a private owner. There are plans to continue the locomotive restoration, but if and when that will happen is unknown. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, but was delisted on November 15, 2021. In 2025, the locomotive was to be auctioned off due to unpaid storage fees, however the auction was withdrawn in favor of a settlement agreement with the locomotives former owner. An unknown rail fan took the photo. |
