Overview
The Napoleon, Defiance and Western Railway (ND&W) was established by Pioneer Railcorp as a part of their Michigan Southern (MSO) subsidiary. The line was purchased from the Maumee and Western (MAW) in December of 2012.
The mainline is 53 miles long, running between Woodburn, IN and Liberty Center, OH with a branch running South from Cecil, OH and interchanges with Norfolk Southern at Woodburn, IN and CSX at Defiance, OH. Their office and base of operations are located in Defiance, OH.
The lines trackage is of Wabash heritage aside from the branch south from Cecil which was once the Cinncinati Northern Mainline and was a part of the New York Central System via the Big Four. Prior to the ND&W the line was operated the Norfolk & Western, Norfolk Southern, Indiana Hi-Rail, and Maumee & Western.
Operations
Operations of the line are on an as needed basis with crews picking up wherever they left off the previous day. Generally the Defiance to Napoleon section operates in some form Monday-Friday with some runs on Saturday. CSX local Y101 drops off and picks up cars at the interchange in Defiance three times a week, normally Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Service between Woodburn and Defiance is more sporadic, seeing operations 2-3 times a week with NS local L91 bringing and taking cars to and from the interchange at Woodburn as needed. The Napoleon to Liberty Center portion is used for car storage only. If you want to find the ND&W, the line is within sight of US 24 nearly the entire way.
