Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Definitive Thread
Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Beginning
Check it out! I love that Pioneer geep. Very classy, NKP-esque scheme. I think I like the two GP38AC's more though.

Not sure if you noticed, but that PIoneer Rails engine does not have ditch lights on the long hood end.

They've been doing a lot of work in Defiance and downtown Napoleon. Also the brushcutter has gone east of Jewell.

Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Beginning
What did they run today for trains? And yes, I see the pictures. But where did the trains run between? Just thought I'd ask, since maybe they'll be nice to run tomorrow to continue getting freight moved around. I'd love to stop down there and catch one of the NS GP38AC High Hood's in action, thanks.
Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Beginning
As has been mentioned so many times before...
The east end runs from Defiance to Napoleon. If they're running tomorrow, they'll leave Defiance to head east to Napoleon sometime between sunrise and noon.

Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Beginning
Would it be possible to keep me posted then? It'd be nice to know, in order to plan a trip on short notice.

Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Beginning
Short notice? Keep you posted? the line from Napoleon to Defiance is 15 miles and within site of 24 for the entire distance except for in town, they operate daily. Find them, it is not difficult.

Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Beginning
I know they're not easy to spot, but I don't want to go from Toledo to Defiance just to see nothing moving at the time.

No risk, no reward. Sorry kid, you wanna shoot 'em, you gotta find 'em.

Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Beginning
Great pics Y@ and Magnum. Especially like the shot of the N&W sign in the fore ground.
Going to be interesting when they spread some ballast and the regulator and tamper splinter the ties they haven't replaced. I&O made that mistake on an old DT&I siding on the south end. They stopped pretty quickly.

It's over an hour for a drive. I'm only asking for help, I'm not trying to beg either.Y@ wrote:No risk, no reward. Sorry kid, you wanna shoot 'em, you gotta find 'em.
If you guys get any information tomorrow, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Beginning
They run daily except Sunday somewhere on the line. It is not hard to find them. The new 24 follows the line for it's entirety except in Napoleon, Defiance and Antwerp. Can't give you anymore of a heads up then that, you do the leg work.

Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Beginning
Just to confirm: the new owners are generally running on saturdays? MAW didn't use to run on Sat often at all.
