| With adequate info enough to follow, I invited my buddy AJ from Dayton up north to my neck of the woods today to photograph the New Era Railroad. Midwest Rail recently purchased the Wabash Central off of RMW Ventures, and as of last November, the railroad has been undergoing some significant and much needed maintenance work and other restorations. Along with the change in ownership, the railroad also underwent a name change, now being called the "New Era" Railroad, signifying a "new era" for the former Cloverleaf. Despite all those changes, the motive power that the Wabash Central left behind is still currently being used on the railroad, and the railroad plans to continue to use the power until further notice. AJ got to my house fairly early and we began our day along NS around 8 AM. NS had some traffic to get through first. NS 262 crosses South Street with a AC44C6M just weeks out of the Wabtec facility in Texas on the front. |
