The restoration of our historic Nickel Plate Road diesel locomotive has entered a dramatic new phase! No. 358 has been transformed back to its as-built appearance by Progress Rail in Muncie, Indiana. We couldn't be more grateful to our friends at Progress and the hundreds of donors and supporters that have helped us reach this milestone. There's still some work to do to get the 358 ready for the road, but we can't wait to introduce you to this beautiful Electro-Motive time machine very soon.

Donated by Norfolk Southern to the Fort Wayne Railroad in 2010, this SD9-type locomotive has undergone an extensive restoration. It will soon become an operating rail attraction, complementing the nonprofit's preservation efforts and expanding tourism events in the Northeast Indiana region where it will join Nickel Plate Road steam locomotive no. 765. Donations to help complete the restoration can be made at fortwaynerailroad.org/donate. #locomotive #preservation #railroad
