IHRC WAER 223 SW1200 Indiana Hi-rail switcher load grain train @ Edon Farmers COOP Montpelier Ohio

- WAER 223, ex IHRC 223, ex TRRA 1223 works a unit grain train at Montpelier Ohio. The number boards clearly still say 1223 so I don't know why they renumbered it. The switcher was built for the Terminal RR of St Louis in 1955, later owned by the Indiana Hi-Rail and successor Wabash Erie. I assume it is now owned by the Edon Farmers Co-Op but can't say for sure if it retains the WAER reporting mark.
The line furthest to right/north was the Wabash 1st district which ran from Toledo to Montpelier. Now it ends 4800 feet behind/east of the cameras. The line connects to the former Wabash yard in Montpelier which is now Norfolk Southern. Wabash lines radiated from Montpelier, the 4th district continued on west to Chicago, the 2nd district went south to Ft Wayne and the 3rd district went north to Detroit. Both the 2nd and 3rd are NS mainline now just refered to as the Wabash. The 4th district is operated by the Indiana Northeastern, running to South Milford Indiana. Beyond that was pulled up years ago.

Nice catches! I like the vintage EMD switcher locomotive a lot! Really nice!
I love these videos of switching activities you bring us. One old switcher at work in an interesting industrial location can be as interesting as half a dozen multi-engine, ten thousand foot long doublestacks.
Oh wow, that is an old locomotive. Nice video
Great catch!
Excellent video I enjoyed watching it Scott 👍😀😀😀🇬🇧🚂
Really cool switcher.
Awesome video Scott!!!
The Wabash Cannonball! Thanks for the history. Always appreciated.
THANK YOU FOR THE DETAIL VIDEO
Great catch. Love the old school we.
That switcher has been around for quite some time.Nice video.
Great video; NW’s, SW’s, and MP’s are really cool to watch, and they are proof that EMD built awesome locomotives. Thanks for sharing, BE SAFE!
Those horns are just WOW!!! just like the old steamers, only better and with the smell of the bus depot on fire.
Love it
good catch !
I worked for the coop in our town we had a old half track to pull cars bring back memories.
I liked seeing the old and new
Awesome video!
Thank you
Nice video. You have a new subscriber.
Damn. I remember this unit over on TRRA. We went to look at them before IHRC bought them. They were out in service and the TRRA yardmaster sent railroad police along with us because some of the areas they served were so bad
Nice switcher!
Yup
The killdeer love the drone

Love to see the switcher moving grain cars under the fill pipe. I wonder why do only 2 at a time when you pull the entire string of empties forward on the other track? Do they not have a long enough lead to spot more than 2 cars at a time?
Nice catch Scott first comment
Hey Scott, what camcorder are you using for your ground shots? 4k?
🌐
uss steel has some switcher trains like this one at GARY works
There are still many around
those killdeer were not liking your drone!
They sure tried to scare it away
What is the Wabash and Erie? Wabash Central?
Not sure.
No horn, no lights ... what a pile 😂
Contractors be sloppy
The only thing it has externally is rust.
Bit dirty isn't it?
