Is Fostoria a Union Pacific town or what? Just call it "UP East"! Here we see UP...uh....NS, train 17K (Bellvue, OH - Tolono, IL / CNIC) departing westbound on Friday afternoon after CSX cross traffic cleared on the B&O main. Today's power is two recently painted Union Pacific GE's (C40-8 # 9332 and C41-8W # 9515) complete with lightning stripes and yellow frame stripes.

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.
