Twisted Railroad Track in Liberty Center, Ohio 2000


 Here is a brief tour of the Maumee & Western Railroad at Liberty Center, Ohio. This is a former Wabash line that once connected Fort Wayne, Indiana with Toledo. It was leased to Indiana Hi-Rail Corp in 1989 after the 10-mile segment from Liberty Center to Maumee was removed. Indiana H-Rail went backrupt in 1996, and Maumee & Western assumed operations in 1997. Note the poor condition of the 80-lb rail. This line had the dubious distinction of being the most dangerous set of railroad tracks in the country. The line ends just on the east end of town, and is the Wabash Cannonball Trail to Maumee, where the tracks pick up again.

Our first scene is Amtrak's northbound Lake Country Limited passing the Grayslake station on Independence Day 2000 amidst celebration . Next we see three Amtrak trains at Russel, IL, just south of the Wisconsin border. The first train is the southbound Empire Builder led by two Genesis diesels and an F40PH. Then a northbound and southbound Hiawatha pass, both with an F40PH and cab-control unit running "pull-pull" style. Note F40PH #404 that was recently remanufactured and painted into an impressive Phase 4 paint scheme!

Railroad Crossing Arms With Offset Bell


 At Plainfield, Illinois a railroad crossing gate at Main Street on CN's EJ&E mainline seems to have a crossing bell that is out of synch.

Old C&NW Bi-Levels and Conductors at Dee Road Station in 1995!


 Inbound Metra train 656 stops at Dee Road with the conductors getting some Hollywood attention! According to the Metra train schedules, this is train 656 to Chicago. To my knowledge, all of these classic railcars have been retired. This the former C&NW Railroad mainline to Harvard. This station no longer exists.
