Not that this is anything new....but a locomotive sorely in need of a paint job is leading a CSX train across Columbus Avenue at the C&O/NS diamonds on Monday evening, in this case, CSXT GP38-2 # 2625 (Originally in "blue down" paint, later modified (but not repainted) into the incarnation you see now with yellow ends and frame stripe) leading a train of 24 loaded Herzog cars as symbol W-055-05. The train is coming from Toledo, OH, and getting ready to head around the northeast transfer to Willard, OH.

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.
