Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding...here comes a fast freight through Ada
The Ada Icon is fascinated by trains, as most viewers know. On Dec. 2 two Icon photographers captured this freight coming east from Lima.
Our photo essay includes still photos of the advancing and then passing freight.
In addition, we took a video of the train, which was pulling oil cars - we lost track of the number - in a fast freight through Ada.
The former mainline Pennsylvania Railroad through Ada is one a single-track Indiana and Ohio Railway, which is part of the Genese & Wyoming short line system.
Enjoy the photos and video below.
