Title:  PREX 3001
Description:  Looks quite fitting in Northwest Ohio! Glad to have another non-black and yellow engine on the property!

PREX 3001
Title:  PREX 3001
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.

PREX 3001
Title:  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.

PREX 3001
Title:  PREX 3001
Description:  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!

PREX 3001
Title:  PREX 3001
Description:  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!

PREX 3001
Title:  PREX 3001
Description:  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
Title:  PREX 3001
Description:  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.
