Historic Nickel Plate Road locomotive 765 came through downtown Pittsburgh yesterday afternoon, just after 4, on the old PRR Mainline.

And I missed it! I heard it -- but I missed seeing it.
If you look in the pictures of the train running across the Ft. Wayne RR Bridge, you can see the Convention Center behind it. My company's office building is on the other side of the Center.
I'd hoped to sneak out for a few minutes & catch the train crossing the bridge. Unfortunately, I got called into a short meeting with one of the company owners, he needed me to do a confidential report on someone's clients. Just as he's explaining what he wants, we both heard the whistle blow, long and loud. He looks at me and says "Boy, doesn't that sound like a steam engine?"
*sigh*
