As with the Pic of the Day from last Wednesday (NS 412), any help on the details of this regular NS train symbol (856, westbound unit loads) through Fostoria, as I attempt to build the train schedule page, would be greatly appreciated! Regardless of details, here it is approaching Township Road 262 after passing under the signals at "FS," just west of Fostoria, accelerating out of town after enduring 10 mph speed restrictions that have been placed on NS main 1 on the C&O and B&O diamonds today, with a pair of "standard cab" locomotives, NS SD60 # 6656, and C40-8 # 8710.

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.
