There was, as usual, quite a burst of train activity in Fostoria on Friday afternoon. Here, CSX train Q-164-24 (Chicago/59th St. Yard, IL - S. Kearney/TV, NJ double stack intermodal) heads east on B&O main # 1 at F Tower, while K-683-22 (Oak Island, NJ - Proviso, IL/UP unit ethanol empties) pulls out of the east siding to dpeart on B&O main # 2 after making a set off (for reasons unknow), and a somewhat lengthy delay afterwards. Q-164 featured CSXT ES44DC # 5204, C40-8 # 7567, and C40-8W # 7656 for power, while K-683 was led by UP AC440CW # 6754 and AC4460CW # 7304.

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.
