Big train a’movin’ September 11, 2012

Yesterday, historic Engine 765, owned by the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society, made its return trip from the west St. Louis suburbs to Decatur, Ill.

Here, you’ll see cool footage of the train moving at a not-so-lumbering speed, including near the Route 66 town of Litchfield, Ill., about the 5:00 mark.

The 1944 steam engine’s trip was part of the 30th anniversary of the Norfolk Southern railway.
