Long before her current superstardom Nickel Plate Road No. 765 was just one of 80 2-8-4 Berkshires providing the power behind the railroad’s, “High Speed Service.” Assigned to operations west of Bellevue, Ohio she gained a reputation as the best running engine and given the title, “Queen of the West.” Sister 763 was, “Queen of the East.”

This affection earned her a degree of protection after the retirement of steam locomotives as she was kept inside the East Wayne Roundhouse rather than in the deadline outside. Which made it a prime candidate as a stand-in for damaged sister 767 which the city of Fort Wayne wanted for a park display. Thus the first part of 765’s preservation and eventual return to steam by the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society in 1979 began. The locomotive has been a celebrity ever since.

This weekend to the delight of many there will be two Tri-State Steam Excursions with 765. In October we will be celebrating our 60th Anniversary at the NKPHTS 2024 Convention in Angola, Indiana which among other things will feature an excursion of our own with 765 and SD9 No. 358.

Welcome to RRRFP

Welcome to the official Red Raider Railfan Productions page! You’ll get advanced notifications on videos and other stuff going on here. Don’t forget to subscribe to us on YouTube as well.

I started this channel originally as a gaming channel for a computer game named ROBLOX. It was not a successful venture, so I decided to turn to my second hobby - trains. Since 2014, we’ve experienced massive growth that I would not have had if I had continued with the gaming channel model.

With the amount of time and effort that I’ve put into what I’ve been doing the last few years, I hope you enjoy the channel and page as much as I do. I don’t only do this for myself, I do it for the enjoyment of other people who can’t get to the places that I have had the opportunity to go.

Without you, our faithful followers, we wouldn’t be able to grow and thrive. We thank everybody who has been with us along this journey.
