PREX 1603, PREX 1601, PREX 105, and PREX 107.
Title:  PREX 1603, PREX 1601, PREX 105, and PREX 107.
Description:  CSX started to go dead so my dad and I headed over to ND&W when we got to Defiance. Every engine that works on the ND&W was there except for PREX 3054. PREX 1606 is behind PREX 1603.

PREX 1601 and PREX 105
Title:  PREX 1601 and PREX 105
Description:  PREX 1601 and PREX 105 (Gettysburg and Northern!) sit side by side each other in the ND&W yard at Defiance. Now if PREX could just paint all their units like they did with the Gettsburg and Northern. PREX 107 sits in the background.

PREX 105
Title:  PREX 105
Description:  Because Nick had to be back in Fort Wayne before 6, we took US 24 out of Defiance back to New Haven. When we approached Cecil we saw something red sticking out behind the grain elevator so we took a pit stop and saw that PREX 105, the Gettysburg unit, was sitting with a flat car, tank car, and a cyndrilical hopper car in the grain elevator spur so we took some photos of it.

PREX 105
Title:  PREX 105
Description:  Gettysburg Railway (PREX 105) sits parked for the weekend on the ND&W mainline with an eastbound local from Woodburn in Cecil. Usually when the crews tie down trains in Cecil, they will park them on the LaFarge lead. But, due to a tank car and a ballast cleaner on the lead, I would guess they had to sit it in this location.

PREX 105
Title:  PREX 105
Description:  Would have been cool to catch this moving. Even though they have done very good work repairing the tracks from the MAW, Cecil still is one of the worst locations on the line. Would be cool to see a train leaning at a 75-80 degree angle. And, along with the engines unique paint scheme compared to the rest of the black and yellow PREX engines assigned to the ND&W, this unit has a very unique horn.

PREX 105
Title:  PREX 105
Description:  After NS 205, things began to quiet down so I figured it was a good time to cut it and go straight down to CSX at Defiance. However, no visit to Defiance is complete without a visit to the Napoleon Defiance and Western, and now since PREX 3001 and PREX 2026, both ATSF Bluebonnets are on the property, that made the visit more exciting. Ended up getting a shot of PREX 105 first, the Gettysburg GP9 highood.

PREX 2026 and PREX 105
Title:  PREX 2026 and PREX 105
Description:  While the Gettysburg unit is my favorite, I definitely would say that the ex-ATSF GP20u in Bluebonnet paint is a very close second best. Its gonna suck when/ig this unit leaves the property when Patriot Power arrives.

Description:  The 3 units all sit together awaiting anothdr days work on the ND&W. A great way to cap off a great day of train watching! From here on out (except for the next day), the days will get shorter, slowly but surely.

Title:  PREX 105
Description:  The Gettysburg Unit sits in the exact same place it was a few weeks ago. My guess is it will sit here until Patriot takes it off the property.

PREX 2026 and PREX 105
Title:  PREX 2026 and PREX 105
Description:  Of course, no visit to Defiance is complete without a visit to the ND&W yard. Both the Santa Fe painted GP20u and the Gettysburg GP9 were present. With the recent acquisition of Patriot Rail buying out Pioneer, it is uncertain how long the fleet of old EMDs will last on the ND&W. So, still shots or moving, it is best to get as many as I can.

PREX 105
Title:  PREX 105
Description:  Unfortunately, the time for the Gettysburg GP9 has officially come to an end. The unit is in the process of being sold to Robert Rileys Rock Island Railroad (Mississippi Delta property) to be paired with its sister, 107, again. Not sure when it will be leaving, but I am hoping it will leave via NS when it does.

KLIX 317
Title:  KLIX 317
Description:  This was honestly something I thought Id never see in my lifetime. The unit has been patched up in some areas, but for the most part, it is still original. Glad it is getting new life at a museum!

EWR 802
Title:  EWR 802
Description:  Despite the Elkhart and Western moving very slow, all of their line is in town and it isnt very easy to chase as the roads that do follow the tracks are usually pretty busy, which was why I had hoped they would go all the way to Mishawaka today. But, they were not, so I would have to settle with only 3-4 shots for the chase. First shot was back at CR 1 on the far west side of Elkhart.

Title:  EWR 802
Description:  Then of course, the prize shot over the Saint Joseph River concluded the chase. Only managed to get shots in 3 different locations, and the color could have been a little better, but hey, Im happy with what I got. Especially with this shot. If there would have been sun here, this wouldnt have worked!

PREX 911
Title:  PREX 911
Description:  And just as I had feared, I ended up killing too much time and the E&W had already began their day. I began zigzagging the tracks and eventually found them not too far from home base. The train had some cars for EQ Logistics to work, so I ended up jumping them at CR 3 on the west side of Elkhart.

PREX 911
Title:  PREX 911
Description:  Buzzi Concrete was next to work on the far north side of Osceola. I ate my lunch while waiting for the train to finish working there. I had plans to chase the entire way to Mishawaka, but my luck was cut short when the engines were split on both sides of the train and it began heading back toward Elkhart. Well... so much for shooting the blue geep over the entire line.

OMLX 1701
Title:  OMLX 1701
Description:  The NOW shoves the remainder of their train down one of the sidings in Tiffin and prepares to call it a day. The entire day, we had been tracking a very rare movement on the CSX Toledo Branch. CSXs "GMS-2", the track geometry car, was making its way north to Toledo from Columbus on the former Conrail line. The geometry car hardly ever makes it off the east coast, so we knew it was something that we needed to track down. We got this last shot of the NOW and parted ways. A very successful chase!
