They should keep it as 767 longer than until the end of the year. Nice shot.Β

I Β thought I heard the 765 being labeled 767 and then after time passed, back to 765 all over again.

You would've heard correctly. Back in the 1960s, when 765 was put on-display in Ft. Wayne, the engine was decorated as NKP 767. 765 once again was decorated as 767 for the last part of 2017. If you want to know the full story of why 765 was decorated as 767, here's a link from Ft. Wayne Railroad Historical Society covering those details:

I was behind a cursed engine, and in a cursed car (26 were scalded in a wreck in 1948).
