TP&W @ Hoosierlift
A big Tunnel motor waits to take a train west on the Tip, back when they were under Rail America Control. At the time we couldn't believe they RA was running such heavy power on the shit TP&W track. Eventually the RA paid for it when their lack of track maintanance, lack of business, and heavy motors didn't quite make sense on this small RR. The big tunnel motors didnt quite agree with small, unkept, spur tracks found in towns like, say, Piper City, IL. The Tip in today's G&W control now demands big power, which shows when they pull 140 car trains. As much as as I dislike a conglomerate company owning my Tip, the G&W sure has turned this railroad around for the best.
