| Description: |
CSX had completely died off after I016. I171 was preparing to leave Deshler when we got around Holgate, so we knew we had some time to kill. We made it to Defiance and decided to stop at the NDW Yard to get some shots of the power. PREX 3001 was up front and center. |

Love/hate |
| Description: |
I love and hate short lines all at the same time. There are some interesting operations, and in days past, a lot of interesting power, especially back in the late 70's when the likes of Conrail were selling off underused and unprofitable branch lines, and they were also casting off a lot of odd and obscure power. At the same time, a lot of them run on an erratic basis, often tied to one or two customers, or when the connecting Class 1 brings some cars to the connection. This makes them hard to catch, especially if you're an outlander, though, as photographer Ken Karlewicz noted about the NYSW years ago, "living near the tracks doesn't guarantee you'll see trains." So it was with great joy I found this Pioneer Lines train rolling slowly on an old Wabash branch toward Napoleon as we were driving east on US 24, headed toward Toledo and the Ohio Turnpike. Once in a while, you get lucky!! |

Long time, no change |
| Description: |
Sometimes, when a Class 1 sells or abandons a line, the infrastructure or signage stays in place for a long time. Such is the case with this long time sold off Wabash line from Toledo to Fort Wayne, now active for a short distance in Ohio. Pioneer Rail 3001 rolls 12 cars east toward the end of track and a connection to CSX-ex B&O in Napoleon, passing a sign that is at least 40 years old, and possibly a lot older, given that the N&W merged the Wabash in 1964. |

| Description: |
One of the features of long sold off branch lines is often the lack of track maintenance. This is not nearly as bad as some, but still, the stick rail is showing its age as the train rolls away through a tunnel of trees. |

PREX 3001 |
| Description: |
After taking shots in the yard we continued on our way. US 24 parallels the ND&W all the way into Napoleon, and to our surprise, we ran into the train from Napoleon around Jewell. Despite rail upgrades, trains move pretty slow still, so we got back into town with plenty of time. This is the first time I have shot this unit out on the road in the "new" Pioneer scheme. It is sharp, but I sure do miss when 3001 was in ATSF paint. |

I had never managed to be able to shoot a ND&W train from the Ohio 66 overpass in downtown Defiance, and I knew with this train I had my chance. Trent was all good with us going back, so we did, and I got up to the bridge just in time to get my shot. Bucket list shot in the bag! |

It took a full-out sprint, but I made it over to the bridge over the Maumee River just in time to grab one final shot of the train before it entered yard limits. Didnt expect this today, but sure glad we ran across it! |

But train time wasnt quite over yet! We hopped onto US 24 at Napoleon and began making our way west. We looked over to our right and, sure enough, the ND&W was heading west out of town too! Ive never been lucky enough to catch them going to and from the lodge before! The 3001 was leading one again, but 2045 had been paired with it this time around, so my guess is whatever train they had brought in the day before or this morning was pretty lengthy. We were running out of time, so we decided on no chasing, but just one shot at Okolona. What a great way to end such a great trip! Really hoping we can do this again next year! |

PREX 3001 was also down at the diamond, and once the other train had cleared and got out of town, the conductor returned and protected the 3001s shove down the interchange with CSX. It also was smoking pretty badly. |
