At the end of Railfan Day 2002, NKP 587 does one last photo run-by in yard limits at Noblesville. This picture was taken from the front of a GP-7...
The beginning of Railfan Day 2002 has NKP 587 pulling a train north from Fishers Station. Taken September 14, 2002 at Fishers, IN.
My wife took this picture several years ago with a disposable camera in Atlanta, IN.
There was a further follow up from another member of the list confirming the time frame. They recalled reading "the name change came in the wake...
Good deduction. I checked with their listserv, and this was the response I received from the society president, Frank VanBree: It was renamed in...
Have you tried the Monon Railroad Historical-Technical Society, or more specifically, History of the Monon? - Nathan
And timely too... I was just thinking that I wanted to put trainline airhoses on all of my rolling stock (and get rid of the silly looking trip pin).
I sent an e-mail to them a long time ago asking if they had plans for some type of recycling program, where we could just send them the old wheel...

Nathan- Thanks! This sounds like the name I'm seeking. Can you tell me where on the Monon H&TS site I can find this info. At a quick glance, I'm...
According to the Monon Historical & Technical Society web page, it looks like the name was Chicago, New Albany & Louisville before it was CI&L.
Oh, these babies are definitely not road switchers. They aren't meant to do more than 20, and that's a stretch. Besides, they ride rougher than...
Charlie, Might I ask what inspired you to choose Indianapolis as an end-point? Most model railroads I've seen use famous places on the west or...
Cool beans! Keep those "older" parts comming! Still drooling over the catalog...
I installed a Digitrax decoder in an Atlas GP-9, which I suspect is using the same frame as the GP-7. It had the same problem, it wasn't one of...
I've used XTrkCad for several years now, and it works great. It takes a little bit to get used to the interface, but it's got a nice tutorial...
