Looking a bit tired in the tough old town of Gary, Indiana. Last used on the DM&IR, as 1330.

Supposedly repainted recently. One of two steam locomotives numbered 765 that are preserved in the state of Indiana, but not as famous as the one in Ft. Wayne! Would be nice to see her in one of the Indiana rail-oriented museums. Griffith, Indiana, which has some EJ&E equipment and the old interlocking tower there, might be a good place.

Although a lot of white paint unprototypically put where it shouldn't be, it actually doesn't look TOO bad. Wish though, they would have put the old square Outer Belt Line herald on the tender (with the engine number just above it.) Oh well, at least they didn't paint the counterweights white!
