What, more sunshine? Indeed! NS train O99, a unit train of brand new "TXUX" hopper cars in the 073800-series, speeds through the sunlight and the Iron Triangle on its way west Tuesday afternoon, powered by a pair of NS C40-9W's: 9268 and 8936. If anyone can help identify more details on this train symbol, please shoot an e-mail to Fostoria Rails!

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.
