On the Maumee & Western in Defiance, OH – March 15, 2012.  Caught this on the Railpictures website. No, this is not unlevel. No, this is not a derailment. Yes, the right of way needs some work. Here we see a Maumee & Western Railway westbound train stopped briefly to make certain they do not have any cars on the ground. Luckily it was a “false alarm” in the words of a crewman. The train was amazingly able to continue west to the yard and CSX interchange at Defiance, Ohio. The locomotive is M&W affiliate road Connersville & New Castle #5, a former Santa Fe GP7 rebuild. The railroad is a former Wabash line from Toledo, Ohio to Woodburn, Indiana. –  Submitted by Chris Dees
