PREX 1603 leading PREX 3054 blasts down the former Wabash Railroad's 5th District!

Lol actually I condensed 6 minutes of the train crawling down the track! This is only the third time I've gotten a pair on one of their trains so I was pleased to see them.

The line was most recently the Maumee and Western Railroad (MAW) before being purchased by Pioneer RailCorp.

Maintenance was deferred for decades on this stretch of track.

Pioneer has done a great job rehabbing the worst parts but some pockets like this still exist.

Comment : I know it's expensive and all...

by why the hell won't somebody fund fixing that insanely bad stretch of track?

I just did some fiber optic work to assist in the replacement of all of the rail in Illinois from Chicago to St Louis,

I know someone's got money to fix this little stretch!

Those regular derailments have got to be more expensive and dangerous than just replacing the track..
