Nightfall is approaching quickly as X-139-05 blasts across the NS diamond on B&O main # 1, led by UP AC4400CW # 6652 (in UP BROWN...no wait, that's yellow, isn't it?) and CSXT ES44DC # 5209, also covered in a nice (?) coat of dirt. Meanwhile, the signal is lit on B&O main # 2 for train Q-118-07, who is already past Godsend and about to round the corner into Fostoria, headed in the opposite direction and getting ready to follow Q-348-07 out of town.

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.
