For over a century, Nickel Plate Road steam locomotive no. 587 has always had the ability to put smiles on faces and memories in hearts. But her journey from then to now has been anything but average. So let’s recap 100 years of 587’s history to show how unique this locomotive's journey has been.
2024 UPDATE: Ownership of No. 587 transferred from the Indiana Transportation Museum to a private individual in 2021. It remains stored in Ravenna, Ky., with the Kentucky Steam Heritage Corporation. Future plans are unknown.

I agree the 587 was my favorite engine of all time hey man guess what the 587's restoration will be completed in 1472 days it means in 4 years en the year 2024 i got twern feelings everyone was exited to make the locomotive run again make a lot of money and i will drive this locomotive

@bigben9337 3 жыл бұрын

@@CarlosLopez-tj2tc Sorry buddy I think you got it wrong, 1472 is the number of days a steam locomotive can operate after the boiler inspection is complete. Depending on the money involved and volunteers the actual work to be done can take longer than that. Also 587 is parked out of the way at Ravenna I doubt it's being worked on right now. They are busy restoring C&O 2716.

The 587 is my favorite locomotive and I grew up with the locomotive in the movie 587 the great train robbery and every time I hear a steam locomotive or seen one it makes me want to cry because these machines they are beautiful and they need to be preserved as part of America and railroad history.

Absolutely great video, seeing this and seeing the train run again was absolutely amazing. I used to work on the ITM and got to see 587 in the "repair Shop". Seeing a locomotive compared to a Diesel Engine is just no comparison. I loved the 426, 83A, and 200 for the state fair train. But the 587 is just something different. Awesome video! Thank you for the information behind this legendary locomotive.

You are part of the 587 renewable of interest in the engine and as we make more content about 587, the more people that will get interested in 587 and will want to see 587 run down the tracks once again.

I remember when I was little, I would used to see 587 The Great Train Robbery all the time. It was my favorite movie. Every summer, I would go to the Illinois Railway Museum, and I would love going to see all the steam locomotives. It’s been several years since I’ve gone there, and I hope that I can go another time. The museum is known for having a scene from a transformers movie being shot there, and I’ve been there also. I hope that the 587 gets restored soon.

It's not necessary. For one thing, ITM already has enough to worry about without restoring another locomotive. Additionally, the 624, an identical Mikado, is already a potential candidate for operation.

@kentonallbright9956 4 жыл бұрын

If Steamtown were to own her she would sit rusting, and never run again. The ITM is capable of owning her, they just fell upon hard times. Of which they are slowly climbing out of by running in a new location, and operating trains.

587's tender wasn't originally assigned to 639. It was an addition ordered by the NKP from Lima as replacements for the smaller tenders. This allowed the mikados to remain economical as steam became more expensive.

The 587 is still owned by ITM and is getting restored very slowly, since funds for the engine are scarce. KSHC is simply providing a temporary home for the engine until ITM can move her back to Indiana again. Additionally, I’m sure KSHC has their hands full with 2716 and the former RJ Corman 2-10-2, so adding 587 to their fleet permanently would be a lot to undertake for any nonprofit.
