Chasing the ND&W with the Leaning Locomotive Santa Fe GP20 PREX 3001

  • PREX 3001 a EMD GP20 still in Santa Fe livery pulls a 7 car cement train on the Napoleon Defiance and Western Railway. I "chased" them Antwerp Ohio to near Woodburn Indiana. This railroad was formerly the Maumee & Western ( MAW ) and was infamous for it's bad track conditions. As you can see much of the line now has ballast again! When I first started filming it was mud and rotten ties holding the 100 year old rail in place. The last scene of the video show one of the rougher patches that still remain, where some heavy locomotive leaning can be filmed!

      If they can't afford to fix the road bed under their track then I doubt they could afford a repaint. Hell they couldn't even afford to patch out Santa Fe on the sides.
