From www.railphotoexpress.biz NYC & STL Railroad-Nickel Plate #757 This Locomotive survives at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. The Nickel Plate Road (its proper name was the New York, Chicago & St. Louis) was one of the last North American railroads to use Steam Locomotives in freight service. In 1944 the Nickel Plate took delivery of the Lima Locomotive Works, Class S-2 2-8-4 #757. Lima (Baldwin Locomotive Works) had also built most of NKP's existing fleet of these super-power locomotives. Berkshire No. 746 handled the last revenue mainline steam run on July 2, 1958. In 1947, Lima merged with General Machinery Corporation of Hamilton, Ohio, to form Lima-Hamilton. In 1951, Lima-Hamilton merged with Baldwin Locomotive Works to form Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton (BLH).
