It is another HOT Sunday evening in Fostoria as CSX train Q-117-11 (Boston, MA - Chicago TOFC, IL intermodal) heads west on clear signals through Fostoria with a pair of CSX ES44DC's, #'s 5206 and 5402. Tomorrow will be cooler both in temperature and on the rails, being a Monday, the "slow" day of the week, when "only" well over 100 trains will pass through town in the 24 hour period.

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.
