PREX 2045 |
Description: |
One shot that I had always wanted to get of a ND&W train was up on the Krouse Road overpass. I was finally able to successfully get that shot today. The two "nose-in" units continue west with their cut of cars for Cecil and Woodburn. |

I caught back up with the train at C-232 east of Cecil. The engineer fired up the trail unit here. That definitely raised some eyebrows on what unit they were going to use to go work Lafarge. |

PREX 2045 and PREX 2026 |
Description: |
The other engineer on the crew hops onto the ATSF unit and pulls it onto the Lafarge Spur. PREX 2045 would then back into the cars and pull forward on the main. Meaning, there would be long hood forward units leading both trains their respective trains when they were done switching in Cecil... I feel like they did this to upset me on purpose, but probably not. |

PREX 2045 |
Description: |
After parting cars that were bound for NS or CSX, PREX 2045 takes a majority of them and continues west toward Woodburn through downtown Cecil (or what there is of it). PREX 2026 would take 3 of the cars and head back to Defiance. |

Shockingly, I made it into Antwerp as the train was pulling through town. (I had heard over the scanner that they were thinking about stopping and getting lunch at the store in town, but I wasnt sure if they would do that). Grabbed my first shot right beside the giant Mercer-Landmark complex. |

Description: |
Track conditions here are still a bit rough, so the trains run pretty slowly. That gave me enough time to run into Woodburn and grab some "lupper" at McDonalds, and still get east of town to grab a few more shots. First up, parallelling Tile Mill Road east of town. |

PREX 2045 |
Description: |
PREX 2045 coughs up a lung as it pulls up and shoves its trains onto the siding. After this, the train tied down and I headed for NS rails for a bit. While I would have preferred a short hood forward chase, I will take what I got. It was a really good day of chasing on the ND&W, and probably will be the last time I chase the GP20us before they begin to be phased out. |
