The Toledo, Peoria and Western Railway is a shortline railroad that operates 247 miles of trackage between Mapleton and Peoria in Illinois, and Logansport, Indiana. By 2010, the TP&Wâs traffic primarily consisted of agricultural products, including raw and processed grain products, chemical products, and completed tractors, but they were no longer operating intermodal trains. In December 2012, Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (G&W) acquired RailAmerica, gaining ownership of the TP&W, and they began repainting all of their locomotives in G&Wâs orange-and-black paint scheme. Their small fleet of GP50âs were originally built for the Frisco in 1980 but became BN property when the two companies merged. TP&W has used them both in road and local service.
