CSXT SD50 # 8592 in mostly clean "YN3" paint (YN3's are becoming more common all the time...CLEAN YN3's are still somewhat of a rarity) leads empty coal train E-494-18 (Curtis, IN - Russell, KY). The ex-Chessie/B&O SD50, along with CEFX SD40-2 # 3104, is passing the B&O depot moments before it enters the southwest transfer to make the turn south for Russell on a cold but reasonably nice Sunday, given the recent weather and the fact that it is the middle of February in northwestern Ohio.

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.
