Elkhart & Western crosses the river PREX 100 and PREX 911

[@55nimrod55]

Love those old beater locomotives. Looks like they wrote Elkhart & Western on the sides of the loco with a piece of chalk!

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Yes classic power! Maybe a hand made stencil and Walmart paint

[@25mfd]

nice vid... thanks for the drone shots of the tops of the locos and cars... as a modeler we never get to see topside... you just gave me some more weathering ideas

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Thank you! The top always has different character than the sides

[@jamesdmehl]

Nice to see LCEX cement-covered hoppers being moved locally up from Greencastle, Indiana, or Cement on the CSX/Monon line!

[@EntertainmentWorldz]

Excellent Great catch and video Thanks for sharing your work!

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Thank you for watching!

[@jamesburnside3023]

Surprised they even go down that line-busting bronco ride, great video love the locals never get much chance here to shot them

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Thank you!

[@pistolxplaza]

Prex 1000 is now a Gettysburg and northern which is owned by patriot rail, still looking the same even has the name Elkhart and western, for a few years it was a main engine in use now it’s a backup/ on call engine since we got a new gp-38 with the company name

[@kleashajones123]

My hometown Elkhart, Indiana born n raised how do I not recognize this area??? 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Idk. It’s the line on the north side of town.

[@Up2Late2]

Same, I'm going to need to see a map of where they have track, which I heard is only about 9 miles long.

[@4gauge10]

Cab number 911 huh?.WOW!.

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Lol

[@makeitagreatday144]

I use to run both of those locomotives and we were the ones that were forced to paint them yellow and black with house paint and rollers and brushes 🤣 911 and 1000 Prex Stands for pioneer railroad express

[@makeitagreatday144]

Pioneer was based out of Peoria Illinois. We would take the cement cars to lonestar cement in Mishawaka and hummer frames to Midwest and lumber to Nichols. Started off at the caboose which was our office on Jackson st across from Martin’s grocery store. North folk southern would deliver us cars on the side track and take our empty’s.😎

[@Chessie1985]

Nice catch!!!

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Thank you

[@Chessie1985]

Your welcome!!!

[@myeyeisnotblue]

What happened to the ND&W? I found some of their units for sale.

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Pioneer Railcorp was bought out. Where did you see the locomotives listed for sale and which ones?

[@davidstoner3523]

Who own the ND&W now

[@myeyeisnotblue]

@@ScottTaipaleRail I found them on Sterling Rail. Its one of the recently added locomotives with I think is an NW2 for the image. It has PREX 107, ND&W's GP16s & GP20s, and many more.

[@myeyeisnotblue]

Here is a link, also: www.sterlingrail.com/classifieds/classified.php?id=24618

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Yes I do believe the NW2 is on there as well as both Gettysburg GP9s

[@jeffdouglass6045]

I was the engineer that day.. i retired 12.01.2023

[@realcanadianrailfan110]

Nice video. What line did this used to be?

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Not sure

[@R3ading]

EWR-Conrail-Penn Central- New York Central, also they just got a new locomotive No.912 from a PREX line in Georgia.

[@TheresaBrown-dc5dt]

Started out as a main line between Ft Wayne IN to Toledo OH by the Wabash in the 1890s

[@ivanalexiscoronelmoran2092]
