Description A closeup of Nickle Plate Road 765s main drivers as she rests from a days run on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Rail.

Interesting note, the main axle rod where all the drivers come together weighs nearly 2 tons and at 60 miles an hour it rotates 6 times a second. Otherwise something that weighs the same as a large SUV. That impresses me.

Hope you didn't get your camera dirty with all that grease on the rods.
