Yesterday, the 407...today, the 408! CSX loaded coal train T-921-28 (Wells Prep, WV - Curtis, IN) crawls around the southwest transfer and out on to main 2 on the B&O on Sunday afternoon, with the aforementioned AC4400CW # 408, as well as AC6000CW # 5012. The "CW60AC's" have had their assignments diversified a bit more in the last year - you'll still see plenty of them on intermodal trains, but they now more regularly show up on freights, coal and grain trains, and just about anything else, too.

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.
