LTEX 2411 |
| Description: |
My June vacation had finally arrived. My dad and I usually go out to Galesburg during the 3rd week of June. But, usually I have a little time to do some other railfanning activities closer to home, including my yearly "Longest Day" Trip. This year I had selected Deshler, OH to be the hotspot I would visit. I had intended on being in Deshler right at sunrise, but a mere 4 miles outside of Hamler and I heard the IORY Defect Detector go off around Liberty Center. Looking at the clock I noticed that it was the right time for IORYs daily freight to Delta to come back south. I went back and didnt see the train. I almost gave up when I heard the radio controlled crossing go off at Malinta, which gave me a sure sign that the LNL was coming. I missed a southbound on the Toledo Sub, but it did pay off seeing the 3 ex-UP SD60Ms and the ex-BN SD40-2 struggle out of Hamler with their 422 axle train. Glad to see one of the "nicer" UP units leading today. |

Unfortunately the local had a GEVO today as there was a W943 scheduled to go south the day after. The unit dropped off its consist on the main, then ran down the siding to assist mechanical with an autorack that M209 had bad ordered the night before. The unit pulled up to the reservoir signals then reversed into the siding. The train still had work to do north of Deshler in Custar, but the unit would be wyed around the southwest and southeast wyes before it would continue north long hood forward. |

| Description: |
Unfortunately W014 was short enough to allow 2 trains coming into Deshler on the Garrett/Willard Subs to not have to stop. It was either shoot a very backlit B158 going east, or shoot a better lit I171 with BNSF power going west. I chose CSX I171. I had to do a little chasing, but I got far enough out ahead of it to shoot it across a field about 2 miles west of town. |

A straight up awesome consist on CSX M370 will end the Longest Day Trip for me. This train was waiting for a light behind CSX I136, but since the daylight was spent, I was done taking photos of moving trains. A total of 35 trains documented on camera, while I saw 37 altogether. Things didnt look like theyd be up to my expectations at first, but CSX really showed up in the late afternoon and evening. I would still say that Deshler is a hotspot that any out-of-town foamer should check out! |

While the daylight was spent and I was done taking photos of moving trains, I decided to pay a quick visit tk the ND&W Yard, as the Patriot Rail takeover is now complete, and it is only a matter of time before the dark blue geeps begin showing up to the property. The normal power was in the yard, along with the ex-NS switcher that was being used as the transload switcher in Napoleon. Appbrently it is headed to the Big 4 Terminal down in Connersville to be worked on. Not sure if it will come back up here or not. |

PREX 105 |
| Description: |
Easily my favorite unit on the entire Pioneer Roster. Looks like it hasnt moved in quite some time. Its sister, PREX 107 which is also painted in Gettyscurg Railroad paint, has been sold to Robert Rileys Mississippi Delta Railroad (Rock Island). Im hoping to get some shots of it before it is painted into RI Blue on my trip to Mississippi later this year. |

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. |

PREX 3054 and PREX 2026 |
| Description: |
PREX 3054, which appears to have a 50 Years OLS Sticker slapped on the nose now, sits behind PREX 2026. The PREX 3054 was the very first unit on the property when Pioneer bought the line from the Maumee and Western back in 2013. Weird to thing that its time on the ND&W is probably coming to an end sooner rather than later. |

The presence of Patriot Rail can already be felt in the yard. The signs are posted on all of the buildings now. |
