Tp&w


Very easy railroad to railfan. Anybody have any TP&W shots they'd like to share? This one finds a GP50/GP40 duo in the siding at Crescent City last fall.

Figures they're x-big nothing as no AC unit & a can antenna. LOL Are those ethanol or oil cans after the flats w/ dozers?
 
Not ethanol. Liquid fertilizer. The locos ran really well. The G&W shops in Indiana are pretty good at keeping them running.

Another set of power at Hoosier Lift

Here's a shot my brother took on 7/11/2014 just west of Eureka. I did the digital corrections to fix the distortion problems digital cameras have.

That's five locos for power; unusual for the TP&W, according to him.
 
They run one train from Peoria east to Effner and back every other day and use it to shuttle locos back and forth to the shops at E. Peoria. The G&W line at Kokomo also gets it's locos via this route. Here is one set out at Logansport headed to Kokomo.

They have pretty much settled on GP50 and GP40 since the G&W takeover. The six axles all went to Indiana Southern. This one was headed that way when I shot it.
