CNUR 7 works on the Wabash Central Railroad. I picked up the chase just west of Bluffton Indiana. I followed them through Liberty Center, Warren and over the Salamonie River bridge. They had 3 loads of potash for Crop Production Services which is one of 2 active customers west of Bluffton on this railroad, hanging on by a few carloads a year.

I love those lonely little used lines with a train searching for rails in the weeds.

love these shortline railroads..keeping the old days alive

@ScottTaipaleRail 4 года назад

Finding one short line working is worth more than finding 20 class ones highballing down the mainline. Both can be exciting but someday these lines will likely not be there.

Nice catch Scott. If it weren't for the train, I would of thought the tracks were abandoned.

@ScottTaipaleRail 5 лет назад

Thank you! Yes that was my first impression several years ago when I crossed one of their crossings

@shortliner68 5 лет назад

Thanks for keeping us railfans in other parts of the country updated with the current comings and goings of the Wabash Central. Shame they couldn't pick up another customer in the Van Buren area to help strengthen their west end.

It would be nice if the trains went Marion still😞

Who knew? These are scenes most people never see. But your travels make this possible. Once again, great camera closeups and aerial shots. Your drone shots are almost like sitting in a theater with a large screen. Enjoyed every moment. Like I always say, put that TV remote away and view these videos. Keep that camera rolling. Many thanks!

@ScottTaipaleRail 5 лет назад

Thank you very much. That’s the way I see it. Too much “real” entertainment out there to waste time on tv! I try to add a valuable bit to it.

@@ScottTaipaleRail Thanks Scott. These engineers and all the supporting work crews is what keeps this country running. They deserve more credit than they get. Yes the engines are impressive, but its the people who run those engines that make it all possible!

Excellent video, Scott - great ending, too, with your little son! Little can compare with chasing a short-line railroad on a late winter day. There’s a bit of melancholy in the air as we await spring. Except for the modern hoppers, and pickups, this is a scene from the ‘60s. Seems like time stands still in some parts of Indiana. I will revisit this video in the next few days. Thank you Scott.

@michaelvelik8779 3 года назад

The little appreciated aspect of branch lines like these is how they still facilitate a significant amount of economic activity in the local areas they serve. Without them, those areas would be poorer.

Another fine video! Thanks for bringing us all these fascinating vintage locos hanging on in revenue service. Wonderful aerial footage! I admire and envy your skill with the UAV. How do you get it to shoot straight down like that when the train passes underneath? Does the whole vehicle tilt, or just the camera? Five stars!

@user-mr3ct1dm9p 5 месяцев назад

Great job, Scott! As far as getting the cars to Weaver do they use that same run around, to shove cars to Weaver, since they are a facing point switch, with no run around??

@AustinsAmericanFlyertrains 4 года назад

Thank you for documenting this lonely line. How often do trains run? You mention a few cars a year...is it really that few? I also wonder I'd one of the engine cylinders has bad things and is burning oil?

@ScottTaipaleRail 4 года назад

Thank you for watching. I’m not sure of actual car counts. Probably less than 50 a year west of Bluffton Indiana. These moves only happen 1-2 times a month. They have a plastics plant in Bluffton that looks busy though. N

Funny how the crooked rails around Liberty Center, IN resemble the crooked rails around Liberty Center, OH. On the long drone shot, the soil appeared less black than in Ohio, but the area was still very agrarian. I do like those drone shots.

At one point the Maumee & Western was owned by the same man that owns the Wabash Central. Thank you, the drone really gives a perspective the tripods can't.

Somewhere they managed to turn it around for delivery. If they hadn't of turned around then the loci would have been stuck at the plant behind the cars (if the plant didn't have a turn around of course). I suppose.
