Description
In an era now gone, where steam ruled and all but the very extreme of winters rage was laughed at where tight schedules where kept no matter what the weather was like. For the Nickle Plate, it was move the freight, and move it fast. NKP was the secondhand man with fierce competition from several railroads. Their only angle was run freight fast and thats what they did and it worked well for them. Limas Berkshire class became the backbone of NKPs modern steam fleet and they are undoubtedly the best super power steam locomotive ever built, capable of hauling the freight trains NKP was running at the speed that they pushing for.

Here, we see one of those NKP Berks gaining speed at the intermediate signals just west of Bellevue at dusk.
