Chessie System/B&O caboose 903985 shows of one it's repainted ends (you can see what the side view looks like in the photo on the right sidebar) while sitting in the northwest transfer at the rear of H-793-20 around lunchtime on Tuesday. The local pulled into the transfer waiting to get on B&O main 1, take the short crossover to B&O main 2, and then back into the C&O yard through the southwest transfer. Such moves are common with the H-793/H-794 locals, as well as with H-795, the Walbridge Yard to Fostoria turn, which services the Fostoria Mixing Center located northeast of the Iron Triangle along the Norfolk Southern.

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.
