As occasionally happens with empty coal trains, CSX train E-434-09 (Toledo Dock, OH - Russell, KY) is travelling back south with just one engine, in this case CSXT AC4400CW # 276. Here, the train is perched in the evening light atop the East Center Street underpass just north of the Iron Triangle and the "88 crossovers," waiting for an NS local and CSX local H-793 to get in the clear before proceeding south.

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.
