NS 261, a westbound roadrailer (Bethlehem, PA - Chicago, IL) powered by NS C40-9W # 8918, coasts to a stop on main 2 between Town Street and McDougle Street in Fostoria to wait for CSX cross traffic. Meanwhile, if you look carefully, from underneath one of 261's roadrailer trailers at McDougle Street, you'll see CSX train S-348-12 (Indianapolis/Avon Yard, IN - Willard, OH second section), powered by CSX CW40-8's 7764 and 7667, making the turn around the southeast transfer heading towards the signals at TR43/East Fostoria.

March 5th, 2008:
Spring may be on the way soon, but it was certainly not here yet on this winter morning of storm recovery, full of snow, ice, and grey skies.
Through the scene next to old B&O depot in Fostoria blasts BNSF SD70MAC # 9618, looking rather ghostly with its "BN" logo no longer on the nose. She is leading CSXT train U-994-04 (Cicero, IL/BNSF - Colona, PA Powder River coal loads) eastbound on B&O main # 2, along with BNSF SD70MAC # 9404, also in the "executive" colors. Both units also have fairly newly applied "swoosh" patches on the sides of the cabs, not visible here.
The winter weather delayed many trains on this day, but didn't keep the Fostoria Rails from being just as busy as ever.
