CSX train Q-397-25 (Willard, OH - Toledo Stanley Yard, OH freight) approaches North Street in Fostoria on Wednesday afternoon just after five o'clock, with 9 units on the head of the train. Q-397 is always a prime candidate for having lots of power on being shuttled to Toledo and/or wherever it is needed. Here is the consist for today:
CSXT GP40-2 # 4401 in YN3
Very recently repainted CSXT GP15T # 1524 in YN3
Very much in need of being repainted CSXT GP38-2 # 2613
CSXT RCPHG4 # 9162

EMDX SD60 # 9001

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.
