TOUCH A BIT OF HISTORY
Equipment 
The Museum
has many pieces of equipment. Examples of locomotives, passenger coaches,
freight cars, cabooses, and maintenance of way equipment can be found on the
property. Many pieces have been restored by our volunteers, such as the NKP No.
1 Business Car, the NKP No. 587 Steam Locomotive, and the ITM No. 426 Diesel
Locomotive.
ITM 200 
This EMD GP-9
was built in 1954 for the Union Pacific. Engine no. 200 was the first unit of
Union Pacific's first large order of road switchers delivered in early 1954. It
later served in North Carolina on the tourist hauling Great Smoky Mountain
Railroad and came to Indiana as Central of Indiana's no. 1755. Restored by ITM
in 2000, it's road number is "ITMZ 200". More info...
ITM 426 
This EMD GP-7L
was built in 1953 for the New York, Chicago & St. Louis RR (Nickel Plate).
Engine no. 426 was one of 25 units that was put into service at Frankfort, IN,
on July 22, 1953. It was then sold to Peabody Coal Co. for service in hauling

NKP 587 
NKP 587 is a
coal-burning steam locomotive built in September 1918. It is perhaps the best
remaining example of a USRA light Mikado steam locomotive, built by the Baldwin
Locomotive Works. It is on the National Register of Historic Places. More info...
NKP 1 
This car served
as the premier business car for the Nickel Plate Road for many years. It was
built in February 1929 by the Pullman Standard Company. From 1929 through 1936,
it was used by Oris and Mantis VanSweringen, the owners of the Nickel Plate.
This unit is road number "ITMZ 1". More info...
Budd Coaches 
The fleet
of closed window coaches maintained by the ITM are streamlined, stainless steel
equipment manufactured by the Budd Corporation in 1937 and 1938. They were the
first stainless steel coaches built by that company. At this time eight of
these coaches have been restored. More info...
FEC No. 90 
Florida East
Coast (FEC) No. 90 is a private railroad car built in 1898. This car served as
a rolling hotel suite for Henry Morrison Flagler. It was designed on a
luxurious scale to reflect Mr. Flagler's wealth and tastes and is considered to
be one of the most beautiful rail cars ever constructed. More info...
