H-795 (Toledo/Walbridge Yard, OH - Fostoria, OH/Mixing Center auto racks/turn) is starting to become a popular pick for the "Pic of the Day" - but with lashups like this one, why not? CSXT GP38-2 # 2667, the last Seaboard System painted locomotive on the CSX roster, leads CSXT MP15AC # 1139 northbound across the B&O diamond on Friday night's return trip to Walbridge Yard, with 78 loaded auto racks (over 7000 feet of train) in tow.

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.
