15 year old rail photographer from North-Central Indiana. I love model railroading and hockey as well. I was introduced to Thomas the Tank Engine when I was about 4 or so. Ever since then, my knowledge has been growing and growing. I started photographing trains in early to mid 2020.
NKP 765 is a class 2-8-4 and is pictured in Ray, Michigan, United States. This was taken along the Indiana Northeastern on the Nickel Plate Road.
