After spending nearly 2 weeks roaming around CSX, new BNSF ES44AC #'s 6200 & 6201 are on their way to home rails on a cold and partly cloudy Sunday afternoon, leading CSXT train L-383-16 (Cumberland, MD - Cicero, IL/BNSF). These two have taken a similar path home as did BNSF 6184 & 6185, seen on the March 6th Pic of the Day. Today's train is seen here headed west between East Fostoria and Columbus Avenue.

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.
