Toledo, Peoria, & Western Railroad History

The video was probably made in the late 80s/early 90s.

I remember green frog from national train day Toledo long ago.

On hot summer nights, you'd hear that lift machine from a long way off, working the TP&W yard during the height of their Intermodal years. I would love to have seen the first years of their existence, when much of the line through East Peoria going east through Farmdale was, before the building of the Farmdale Dam - on the opposite side of Farm Creek. Many of the old bridge footings and/or abutments can still be seen today. So to can old roadbed remnants.

I'm from Peoria Illinois, we would fish and hangout under that train bridge

I sure miss living near this line. I was raised in El Paso.

This is likely the first video of footage from the original TP&W to be on KZbin.
