NKPHTS 2009 Calendar

Front Cover: LaFayette's classic depot, built to a New York Central design, was a Peoria landmark for years. GP30 907 pays a call in a 1966 scene that betrays no trace of the merger that has overtaken the Nickel Plate and the four-year-old EMD alumna. PHOTO: J. Anthony Koester		Back Cover: The Nickel Plate's bay-window cabooses enjoyed productive careers, cut short only by changed labor agreements and smaller crews. Fittingly, many were preserved; a956-built 423 is the newest of a quartet enshrined at Bellevue that spans the Nickel Plate's entire history. PHOTO: Robert L. Smith, Peter Shepherd Collection
