Eastern Railroad Discussion > TP&W action TuesdayDate: 05/15/21 08:37 TP&W action Tuesday Author: JETRR Tuesday when I was out rail fanning around Clymers, IN on the NS Wabash line I ran across the southbound TP&W local heading to Bringhurst, IN, presumably to pick up empties. Since train frequency on this line is so low I decided to chase since the weather was perfect and I never had the opportunity to capture a few unique backdrops on the line with a train.
Photo 1: The TP&W local south out of Clymers at the approach signal for the diamond with the NS. Photo 2: The local crossing Rock Creek in Carroll County. Photo 3: The local passing the old Camden, IN grain elevator.    Date: 05/15/21 08:39 Re: TP&W action Tuesday Author: JETRR Photo 4: A Camden, IN relic
Photos 4 & 5: Flora, IN. The depot is former Vandalia RR built in 1908 and in the midst of being fully restored.    Date: 05/15/21 09:37 Re: TP&W action Tuesday Author: jgilmore That's a funky signal pole in #1 and #2 is just beautiful! JG

A few years ago Winamac Southern, the owner of this line, replaced the signal head with a single fixed approach indication. Here is the same signal pole with the PRR target head mounted back when CR owned this line.  Date: 05/15/21 10:38 Re: TP&W action Tuesday Author: gcm Nice shots !
