It's snowing in Fostoria...again....while the rail action continues on, as here at the north end of the C&O yard, where on Saturday afternoon HLCX SD40-2 # 8164 leads a late Q-349-17 around the southeast transfer from Willard, Ohio, on its way to Marion, Ohio and eventually to Avon Yard in Indianapolis, Indiana. 349 will make his way between H-795-17 on the left (with unusual, for this train, "big" power - CSXT CW40-8 # 7395) waiting to head north to Walbridge Yard near Toledo, and H-794-17, the Fostoria local/yard job, with CSXT Road Slug # 2273 peaking out on the right, doing some switching in the yard.

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.
