Thank you for presenting this program about the Toledo, Peoria & Western Railroad. I really enjoyed the historical presentation of the railroad from its early beginnings to the present day!
CR ran a through train with TPW. LOPI(Logansport-Pittsburgh) and PILO. Later it was shortened to Columbus. LOCO/COLO. This was after CR reduced the Panhandle route to near nothing. I was able to catch 600 in the yard at Buckeye once. At Urbana we caught an eastbound TPW run through with two brand new TPW GP38-2s.
In 1983 we wanted to photo the TPW before it's demise. Which occurred just 5 months later. Chasing trains for almost a week from Iowa to the lift in Ind. Went through a couple rolls of Kodachrome. Good times.
