Maumee & Western Railroad Company (reporting mark MAW) is a Class III shortline railroad, located between Napoleon, and Defiance, Ohio. The MAW operate on a former Wabash Railroad mainline, which ran Westward out of Toledo. After the merger between the Wabash and Norfolk & Western Railroads, the line became a neglected branch under the auspices of the Norfolk & Western Railroad. N&W sold the line to the Indiana Hi-Rail Company in the mid-70s. Indiana Hi-Rail operated for several years before being liquidated in 1997. The line seemed to be facing abandonment. However, the Maumee & Western Railroad, with help from the State of Ohio's, "Rail Development Commission," operates a daily train between Defiance and Napoleon, except for Saturdays and Sundays.
