5/11/1985. NKP 765 was running an excursion from Orrville, Ohio to Pittsburgh, Pa. It had a problem with a bearing that had been replaced to proper specifications for clearence.
From what I understand proper on a steam locomotive should be somewhat sloppy so the bearing was overheating. They dropped the train and it continued on with diesels while the 765 was turned at Wood and sent back to Orrville where they did some adjustment to the bearing and it ran swell the next day. The picture was taken just west of Wood at Aley Hill Road.
