Norfolk Southern train 10E (Salem, IL/UP - Conway, PA freight), more often than not, is powered by Union Pacific locomotives through Fostoria, since the train originates on UP. Sometimes the train will just have NS power, and sometimes a mix. But as far as this writer knows, it has never had this for power, as it did on Tuesday evening, seen at Poplar Street:
(FXE ES44AC # 4652, and SD40-2 #'s 3219 and 3220 lead NS train 10E. Heads up eastward! (See Railfan Alert # 8 below!))

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.
