CSXT train K-311-26 hits the C&O diamonds at F Tower, passing some CSX maintenance workers, as it cruises west on Tuesday afternoon. It is a loaded coke train, powered by CSX AC4400CW #'s 479 and 407, that came out of Connelsville, PA. Destination is unknown as K-311 has not previously been a coke train symbol in Fostoria. K-358 and K-380 are eastbounds on the B&O, while K-381 goes west on the B&O. K-374, K-375, K-384, and K-385 all take the northeast transfer.

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.
