Nickel Plate Road 587 is a 2-8-2 type USRA Light Mikado steam locomotive built in September 1918 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Lake Erie and Western Railroad as its No. 5541. In 1923, the LE&W was merged into the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad, commonly referred to as the "Nickel Plate Road", and allocated 587 as its new number in 1924. In 2003, the locomotive was being restored by the Indiana Transportation Museum in Noblesville, Indiana. However since then the Indiana Transportation Museum has been dissolved and the locomotive has been sold into private ownership. It awaits an unknown date and funding for restoration.

Contents

However in 2018, the museum was being moved to Logansport, Indiana, forcing No. 587 to be stored in Ravenna, Kentucky by the Kentucky Steam Heritage Corp. Since its arrival in Kentucky NKP 587 has been sold by Indiana Transportation Museum to a private individual who will remain anonymous until more information is released at a later point. There are plans to continue the locomotive restoration, but if and when that will happen is unknown. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, but was delisted on November 15, 2021. [2]

History

Revenue service

No. 587 was originally built for the Lake Erie & Western Railroad (LE&W) in September 1918 and originally numbered as 5541. [3] LE&W was bought by Nickel Plate Road (NKP) in 1922, which spent the next two years consolidating and standardizing the locomotive number system. In 1924, LE&W 5541 was renumbered as NKP 587. Its cylinders were replaced with Lima Locomotive Works castings during a late 1943 overhaul. [1]

NKP No. 587 served on the NKP railroad for thirty-seven years on the route from Indianapolis to Michigan City. The locomotive remained relatively unchanged from its original design, when it pulled its final revenue train in March 1955 before was retired from revenue service. [4]

Retirement

On September 9, 1955, NKP 587 was donated to the city of Indianapolis and put on display in Broad Ripple Park. [4] Prior to being put on display, the locomotive's original tender was swapped with another NKP 2-8-2, No. 639, because the tender on No. 639 was in need of repair and 587's original tender was in good mechanical condition. [5] No. 587 was originally equipped with the 16-ton, 10,000-gallon tender used behind USRA 2-8-2s, but in the 1930s, it received a larger 16RA tender that carries 20 tons of coal and 20,000 gallons of water.

In 1934, Lima Locomotive Works delivered twenty-five 22RA tenders to the NKP for Mikados. These tenders were nearly identical to those behind the 2-8-4 "Berkshires", which were also built by Lima.

In 1955, another Mikado, No. 639 was shopped with a 22RA tender on which the stoker was inoperable, and the railroad switched tenders to keep the No. 639 running. [6] No. 587 was displayed in Indianapolis's Broad Ripple Park with the larger 22RA tender in 1955. No. 639 was retired in 1957 and displayed in Bloomington, Illinois with No. 587's 16RA tender. [7]

In 1976, the Indiana Transportation Museum (then known as the Indiana Museum of Transportation & Communication) was growing concerned over the condition of the 587. [8] The museum attempted to get the locomotive from the park but was unsuccessful, with the Indianapolis Parks Department deeming that they did not have the authority to hand it over to IMOTAC. [9]

NKP No. 587 remained in Broad Ripple Park until October 1983. [4] At that time the city of Indianapolis was interested in building a new public library in the park, but the only available location was where No. 587 was displayed.

Restoration

A group of people, called "Friends of 587", did a feasibility study and determined that the locomotive was a good candidate for restoration. The Indiana Transportation Museum (ITM) then signed a twenty-five-year lease on No. 587 from the Indianapolis Parks Department. [10] The ITM also leased a work area at Amtrak's Beech Grove Shops to perform the restoration on the locomotive. [10] No. 587 was removed from the park on October 10, 1983, and work to restore the locomotive subsequently started. [10] During the process, museum officials discovered that when the welds holding the fire box doors closed (for safety purposes) were removed, there were still ashes in the ashpan. This indicated that the locomotive was simply pulled from active service and stored until being donated to the city of Indianapolis.

Restoration work consisted of thousands of volunteer hours and nearly $250,000 in donated money and materials. After restoration was completed, the locomotive performed a successful test run on August 29, 1988. NKP No. 587 pulled its first excursion train on September 17, from Indianapolis to Logansport. [4]

Excursion service

No. 587 was operated by the ITM and was considered its main attraction. It was used primarily to pull the museum's fair train from Fishers, IN to the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis, IN and other special events.

In 1989, No. 587 performed a doubleheader with Norfolk and Western 611 to pull the annual Independence Limited from Rocky River, Ohio to Roanoke, Virginia over a four-day period from June 17–20, with 587 being added at Bellevue, Ohio. On July 16, 1989, 587 joined 611 and Norfolk and Western 1218 to led a tripleheader from Roanoke to Lynchburg, Virginia for the National Railway Historical Society (NRHS) Convention held in Asheville, North Carolina. The 587 led three excursions for the Convention, one of them with 1218. In October of 1988, April of 1989, July & October of 1993 & June of 1994, No. 587 made runs down to Bloomington, Indiana along with a side trip over Tulip Trestle, 20 miles west of Bloomington, Indiana. [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]

In 1993, No. 587 led a doubleheader with NKP 2-8-4 locomotive No. 765 on an excursion from Fort Wayne to Chicago, Illinois, as part of that year's NRHS Convention. [16] This marked the first time No. 587 visited Chicago since its restoration. [16] On August 30, 1994, No. 587 along with a tool car in tow, deadheaded to the Monticello Railway Museum (MRM) to undergo needed repair work. The restoration cost 250,000 dollars & took 3 years to complete. [17] Following the completion of the repair work, No. 587 made a few runs on the MRM to benefit the restoration of Southern Railway 401 in May of 1997. [18] On November 2, 2002, with the locomotive's Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)-mandated rebuild approaching within a few months, No. 587 made its final runs at the ITM; an all day excursion over the museum's entire thirty-eight-mile line from Tipton to Indianapolis. [19] In January 2003, No. 587's operating permit expired. This was due to FRA's requirements to have all boiler tubes and flues from steam locomotives to be replaced every fifteen years, or 1,472 days of operation. [20]

Downtime

The disassembled No. 587 at the Indiana Transportation Museum's restoration shops in 2005

No. 587 was undergoing its second overhaul dependent on funding and available volunteer efforts. The tubes, flues, dry pipe, super-heater and many other pieces have been removed. The dry pipe was worn too thin to support the steam pressures necessary to operate the locomotive. A new dry pipe has been formed and is awaiting installation into the boiler. The air pump has been removed and rebuilt and is in storage awaiting re-installation. Several sections of the firebox have been cut away and replaced as well as a section of the rear tube sheet that was worn too thin to support the operating steam pressure. A new tube sheet section has been cut and using the heat and beat method has been molded into place. It is now in the contractor's shop to have the new holes drilled in it. New tubes have been swaged, which is a process of reducing the diameter on one end while not cutting away any material. They have been transported to the museum in Noblesville and are currently stored until they are needed. Riveting of the firebox is nearly complete with only the front section and several rivets in the corners needing to be replaced. This will require the rear driver of 587 to be dropped into a shallow pit to allow for the riveting to take place.

The locomotive was inside the ITM's shop undergoing additional work. It was lifted several inches off its supporting trucks and running gear to allow access to the leaf springs and bushings without the need to drop all the drivers. The bushings will be removed and replaced as most have worn thin from years of use. In 2008, the ownership of No. 587 was officially transferred from the Indianapolis Parks Department to the ITM.

Stored in Kentucky

On June 28, 2018, a court order required ITM to vacate its former location. The Kentucky Steam Heritage Corporation (KSHCO) made a deal with the museum to relocate 587 before the deadline. Plans are for the locomotive to be moved to Ravenna, Kentucky and have it stored alongside Chesapeake and Ohio 2716 until the ITM could raise enough funds for restoration, and they wanted to eventually return the locomotive back to Indiana once the restoration is complete. On July 7, most of the main components of the 587 left museum's grounds, except for the tender body, which left the grounds on July 12 and was fully unloaded on July 14. On March 5, 2021, the ownership of No. 587 was transferred from the ITM to a private individual who is working with KSHCO regarding the future of the locomotive. No. 587 will be remaining in Ravenna until a solid plan can be attained. [20]

In the fall of 1991, No. 587 was one of five mainline steam locomotives slated to be filmed in the Chicago area for an action movie entitled Night Ride Down, with the others being NKP 765, Reading 2100, Canadian Pacific 1238, and 1286, and the movie would have been set around a labor union strike in the 1930s. [21] [22] [23] The movie was cancelled, due to the early 1990s recession, and when lead actor Harrison Ford left the project over script changes. [22] [23]

In 1992, No. 587 was featured in the Railroads, Rebels & Robbers episode of the Discovery Channel show Rediscovering America. [24]

In 2000, No. 587 was selected as the starring locomotive to appear in the children's movie Old 587: The Great Train Robbery. In the film, a group of kids find the locomotive in a scrapyard. With the help of the locomotive's old engineer, they rescued the 587 from being cut up for scrap and donate it to the Steam City Railroad museum. [25] [26]
