PREX 105 on the ND&W Railroad former Maumee and Western railroad GP9 highhood train on bad track 

Great images! Thanks

I'm glad they're upgrading their routes instead of it just ending up as another dotted line on a map.

Great video!

The drone shot of the train on the pin truss bridge at the beginning was awesome.

The groundhog running in the front the train at 12:47 is a highlight for me.

Love videos of this railroad! Would love to see more! I see their making improvements but they could sure use a tamper!

Absolutely fantastic.

Awesome video Scott! Always enjoy seeing videos from the ND&W.

For a second there I thought you'd gone back in time to film the Penn Central

Can you imagine the Wabash Cannon Ball flying through that rout at 70 or more mph?

Fantastic shots sir.

That trackage looks alot better than it used to but man, those rails all need replaced. Thanks for the video!

Great video Scott!!!

Nice one my friend! Hope they start working on this section of track and get that old geep painted in the new paint scheme!👍👍

That was sweet, I love these types of videos on shortlines, nice work Scott! (Dave).

its telling how bad the track is, when you see the "dings" on the bottom of the locomotive pilot. I saw somewhere they showed the date on one of the compromised size pieces of track they took out that was stamped 1914!

Really nice video! You have a great eye!

Awesome video!

Good stuff, as usual. You're one of the very few who use a drone, which enhances the experience especially if there are two trains passing. As for high hoods, never liked riding the lead engine when one was part of the lash up. The field of vision was definitely impaired.

Great views sir..

Nice drone footage!

It’s sister unit, Gettysburg 107, now operates on the Rock Island Rail in Mississippi.

VERY OLD I-Bar truss!! Nice..

When was this shot. The west of Defiance section has new rail and ballast and looks respectable.

Now I can see the railroad running parallel to a freeway with trucks running much faster than the train. It's probably a miracle that the railroad doesn't go bankrupt and actually gets some love.

I call this the line “The Little Leaning Railway that Could”

There has been recent significant improvement to the crossings warning systems in Paulding County

When was this filmed? I know west of defiance the tracks look so much better than this now. And every week when I passed by from indiana past defiance I saw the track crews working on it

you gonna cover the rebuilt section with the new rail?

They made a video of major repairs they had done after receiving a federal grant, you should see it! ND&W is a whole new rr!

красиво

Wow, its going to fall right off the tracks.

nice TYPAULEE

What a way to be remembered in Shortline railroading due to exceptionally bad track. It almost has to be agonizing chasing it when it's this slow. In the first scene you swear the engine keeps leaning and looks like it's going to tip. The Drone shots over the elevators and the farm were great and looked like a small layout and while they replaced quite a few ties it was just to stabilize the road bed in an effort to probably make five mph. Does the GP ever get above run 3?? ?

anyone know what type of p3

Hopefully now, under Patriot Rail management, they can be financially set to make a few infrastructure improvements and upgrades.

@ 1:40... wow that is some bad looking rail... like about 3mph bad

Almost gave me motion sickness watching that train on those crooked rails.🤐

Afterall this years the railroad still that bad?

The 105 has been sitting dead in Defiance for months.

Yes, the spaghetti rail is still there!

wonder what horn

Bad track due to lack of maintenance or mow

Ever since the first video this railroad fascinates me; I honestly don't know why they don't rebuild the road bed with concrete ties and spring clips? Also, try to improve the railroad from 30 M.P.H. to maybe 35 M.P.H.?

What is the biggest customer on the line? Other railroads or leasing companies storing cars?

The tracks are terrible!!!!

How on earth do trains stay on the rails? Had to take Dramamine to watch this.

Great video!
