If you're keeping track, this is the 100th blog post at Fostoria Rails. And to mark the occassion is a very special G-982-29 southbound across Columbus Avenue through the Iron Triangle in Fostoria at 10:50 am on Tuesday, with UP ES44AC # 7605 in GE Evolution Series paint leading FURX SD40-2 # 3035. UP 7605 is making its fourth trip ever through Fostoria and the photographer/blogger finally had the chance to catch it, not without some misadventures along the way. Nevertheless, here it is!

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.
