Can anyone tell me anything about the locomotives that the Maumee & Western, Delphos Terminal, Connersville & New Castle, and Wabash Central have? I am also interested in what business these railroad serve.

Hi
the maumee and western uses what railpower it can find. right now it has a old sante fe F-7 converted with a highnose so it looks like a gp.and it has an old bn gp 9.it also has had rebuilt gp 11's from illinois central too.I have pics if you want to email me.the maummee and western line runs from defiance through napoleon and to liberty center oh.the line from cecil to defiance is embargoed because of poor track conditions.the trains only go 5-10 mph in spots because of bad track.they serve local grain elevators manville here in defiance and buissnesses in napoleon(one where my mother in law works).email me with any more questions.
stay safe
