The former PRR Ft. Wayne Line is about a half mile south of our house. It is now owned by CSX who leases it to Chicago, Ft. Wayne & Eastern. NS has trackage rights. I see quite a few NS oil trains passing through town. CSX occasionally has a run through unit grain train. CF&E does all of the local switching.

RJ Corman has a line in Lima. The DT&I (now IORY) also ran through Lima.

A couple of "Ghosts" also lurk nearby: The AC&Y and Nickle Plate both had shops in Delphos, about a half mile north of our house. All gone now but for a few pieces of embeded rail and an old signal at the former PRR interchange.

The Ft. Wayne RR Historical Society keeps the 765 about 45 minutes from our place.
