NS trains 14E (Danville/Tilton Yard, IL - Bellevue, OH freight) and 272 (Kansas City, MO - Bellevue, OH auto racks) have both just received a green signal from F Tower on Wednesday evening, after CSX train Q-156-05 (Chicago/59th Street Yard, IL - S. Kearney, NJ intermodal) cleared the NS diamonds. Both started pulling from Findlay Street together, but 14E (NS C40-9W # 9716 and SD70M # 2637) got the best of 272 (NS C40-8W # 8381 in Conrail Quality paint and SD60 # 6592) as they headed east across the Iron Triangle.

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.
