Info: Founded in 1972. The organization has over 800 members and 100 volunteers. Their mission is to preserve, restore, and operate historic railroad equipment and artifacts significant to Northeast Indiana. In 1974, the Society was successful in removing historic Nickel Plate Road steam locomotive no. 765 from display in Lawton Part in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In 1979, the FWRHS became the first all-volunteer, non-profit organization to successfully restore and operate a steam locomotive, writing a significant chapter in the early days of the country’s rail preservation movement. Since 1980, the Society has hosted and administered passenger train excursions, private charters, public exhibitions, and education outreach activities with the 765 and a variety of other vintage railroad equipment throughout the Midwest.
