  This place is amazing destination for young and old. It's a real live steam and diesel heavy repair shop in action. You can visit year around, they do fall excursions, August open house, pumpkin trains, santa trains, and much, much more! They are located just East of 469 on US 24 at the Webster Road Exit. Once you are on Webster Road head South two miles and turn Right and they are located on the left side a quarter mile to the West. Stop by and check them out!

  Going up to the Ft Wayne Historical Society Open House at the Nickle Plate Road #765 home in New Haven Indiana.
  There were items on sale, Railroad memorabilia, and plenty of food trucks to fill you up. And there were train rides in 3 Railroad Cabbooses all restored to there original look and amenities.

  Came here to check out the Berkshire Locomotive made in the historical Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio right next door to where I work. Came here on a horse drawn wagon that was included with your admission to the Steam Show that was going on next door to the Historical Society. They have some cool train projects inside of their building that they are currently working on getting restored back to their original glory. The volunteers that work here were all very informative and great to listen to. They would answer any question that you may have had about the locomotive and knew all of the history about it as well. Great place to come and check out some locally made historical train items, both young and old would enjoy to see this.
