 https://join.robinhood.com/marke833 💰  =============================================================================== In the early morning in Defiance, Ohio, I caught a real treat! An eastbound CSX local approaches on the ex-B&O Willard Sub led by an EMD GP38-2 running long hood forward! He stops before the signal bridge and sets out a gondola in the scrapyard. Then he re-couples the loco, performs the Class 3 Air Test, and throttles up to head for the yard in East Defiance. The diamond he is crossing the Napolean Defiance & Western RR. ================================================================================= 💺Trackside Chairs! https://geni.us/Campchair 67” Tripod! https://geni.us/67Tripod 🎤 Universal Microphone! https://geni.us/Unimike 🛩️Drone For Lofty Railfanning! https://geni.us/drone720  ============================================================

These tracks were in such rough condition, it’s amazing they were still in service!

 Join HOTRAILProductions for a brief tour of the Maumee & Western Railroad in Liberty Center, Ohio — a struggling shortline operating on a former Wabash Railroad route that once connected Fort Wayne, Indiana to Toledo, Ohio. After a 10-mile segment from Liberty Center to Maumee was removed, the line was leased to Indiana Hi-Rail Corp in 1989. Following Hi-Rail’s bankruptcy in 1996, Maumee & Western assumed operations in 1997. Notice the worn 80-lb rail and overall deteriorated track structure. The line now ends on the east side of town, transitioning into the Wabash Cannonball Trail before the rails resume near Maumee. A fascinating — and sobering — look at Midwest shortline history.

 In a blurry leftover scene from my archives, Amtrak's northbound Lake Country Limited passes the Metra station at Grayslake, Illinois. Power on this occasion was a Genesis diesel and the usual Horizon coach and baggage car. Afterward, my brother traps a mouse between the rails.
