These are cool. TP&W is a new 9ne on me. 

I knew of DT&I That was Detroit Toledo and Ironton. That track ran by the 2 neighborhoods my parents lived in.

Note the maintenance machinery made from the cab of an International truck.

TP&W stood for Toledo, Peoria and Western, though I'm not sure of its actual route offhand.
