You never know what you'll see when a fast freight passes through Ada on the Chicago, Ft. Wayne and Eastern Railroad.

Here's an Ohio Northern University-colored Wheeling and Lake Erie locomotive pulling an eastbound freight.

We've seen W & LE, Ohio and Indiana, Genesee and Wyoming and even Burlington Northern diesels pass through town - far removed from the days of maroon-colored Pennsylvania Railroad.
