LIFW - Van Wert RCPE 2086 busts the small drifts through the well sized town of Van Wert on the CF&E. The downtown Van Wert County Courthouse can be seen in the background. Framing the PRR signals was on my mind, but not worth the risk as clouds were popping in and out from the sun. It gives me a reason to come back.
LIFW - Delphos RCPE 2086 leads the Fort Wayne bound manifest west through Delphos at a solid speed of 25 MPH.
