The Lodge also represents members at Road and Rail Services at Roanoke, Indiana and Indiana Railroad at Linton, Indiana.

Fort Wayne Lodge was a member of the Nickel Plate Joint Protective Board No. 350 from 1937 until April 1992, when the Board was merged into the Finley Lines Joint Protective Board No. 200, which changed its name on May 1, 2000, to the Norfolk Southern Joint Protective Board No. 200. At the 40th Convention in 2005, Joint Protective Board No. 200 voted to surrender its Charter and turn over its $1.2 million treasury to the Grand Lodge. Since then Lodge 6760 has been a stand alone lodge, not affiliated with any Joint Protective Board.

On April 1, 2000, former locals at Cincinnati, Columbus Portsmouth, Detroit, Huntingburg, Louisville and Danville all consolidated with Fort Wayne Lodge. This action by the Grand Lodge created the largest lodge in the Carmen Division representing Norfolk Southern employees. Since then, the lodge has grown as more jobs have been created within the Lodge's jurisdiction.

In 2011, members of the former local at Marion, Ohio, employed by Union Tank Car Company, along with members from the former local at Roanoke, Indiana, employed by Road and Rail Services merged into Lodge 6760.

In 2016, members employed at Union Tank Car Company in Marion, Ohio obtained their own charter for a new lodge. Those members were then transferred from Lodge 6760. We wish them well.

In August 2020, all lodge's including 6760 were transferred from Unit 200 to Unit 410, under the direction of Jason Cox, National Representative and Dennis Wilson, Assistant National Representative.
