CSXT train N-807-15 (Toledo, Lang Yard, OH/CN - Martin, KY coal empties) rumbles south through Fostoria on the C&O on Sunday afternoon, with ES44DC # 5322 and AC6000CW # 622. Meanwhile Q-397-15 (Willard, OH - Toledo Stanley Yard, OH freight), led by CSXT C40-8W # 7669 (and paired with out-of-sight BNSF ES44DC # 7781) eases north as the rest of its train continues to round the northeast transfer. The trains passed each other at the North Street road crossing north of the "88" crossovers.

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.
