Jason's comment:
Winter 2003, we are looking northwest at the former Master Mix / Central Soya elevator at Logansport, IN. along 18th St. In front of me is an old friend of mine from the A & R Line Railroad in the form of former Chessie System / C & O SD - 18 # 7302. This unit was aquired from Cargill Inc. by Indiana Boxcar Corporation (I.B.C.X.) it was repainted in Montana Rail Link blue and renumbered to the # 5002 and then resold to Scoular Grain Inc. It currently resides on the Kansas / Colorado State Line. We are in the T. P. & W. 's portion of the old P.R.R. Yard A in Logansport, IN. A Jason Jordan photo.
I'm partial to Master Mix elevators because they were owned by Central Soya, the company my Dad retired from.
Toledo, Peoria & Western must be using this former
PRR Panhandle yard via trackage rights because the
SPV Map indicates Winamac Southern (WSRY) now operates it. It appears TP&W joins the WSRY route at
Peoria Junction. Of the 8 railroad "spokes" that used to go to Logansport, 2 of them were Wabash, five of them were Pennsy, and one was Wabash that was bought and then abandoned by Pennsy.
