NS 1176 |
| Description: |
Back trackside! Had a personal day to use from work so I decided to do a little railroading fun and follow a main line for once. Hadnt been over to Fostoria in some time so I decided to go ahead and follow the Garrett and Willard Subs out that direction. I started the very foggy morning following the Wabash Main Line north of Fort Wayne. I was stopped after I heard some crackling over the radio, and sure enough NS 181 showed up with a black and white SD70ACe to begin the day. |

CSX 6466 |
| Description: |
I started following the tracks eastward and made it all the way to Sherwood before noticing a green signal for an eastbound. I decided to set up shop there and wait. The wait was quite long, but eventually CSX J715 showed up, quickly heading eastward toward Defiance. |

CSX 3244 |
| Description: |
After Q010, the Garrett Sub shut up. Light was still at the end of the tunnel, however, as I heard IORY 4085 south working in Leipsic. Unfortunately for me, however, the train had left once I arrived. I did find CSX Q510 rolling north out of town though with a GEVO and a recently reactivated YN2 Dash 8. |

NS 9526 |
| Description: |
After Q201, traffic on CSX completely died off. Despite traffic on CSX going dormant, there was activity on the east side of Fostoria. I booked it over to CR 89 (which apparently closed and was torn up between now and my last visit, and grabbed NS 96K, a westbound welded rail train, heading into town. |

NS 96K met NS L70 coming out of Blair Yard and once NS 96K cleared, NS L70 received permission to head on east. As you can see by this photo, CR 89 is gone, but the crossing sign still remains, which I thought was quite funny! |

Finally another train popped up on the Willard Sub. I decided to head to Bascom to shoot it. If memory serves me correctly this was CSX W006, which was all ex-Chessie System CWR cars. This train came off the C&O from the south in Fostoria. |

CSX 4006 |
| Description: |
The horn of an approaching westbound was heard in the distance, so I looked at ATCS and noticed that nothing had been cleared across the diamond with NS on the B&O side. The train continued to approach and no lineup was given, so I knew it had to have been a train that was going to go north on the C&O. Sure enough I was correct. I was even more impressed to see a TRIO of SD40-3s coming around the corner with CSX Q567 in tow! |

NS 6338 |
| Description: |
CSX traffic was too quiet to continue staying in Fostoria and with the sun getting ready to set it was about time I made my way back westward. I knew that NS L70 was out there working west of town still, so I decided to head over to Arcadia where the Lima District splits off the Fostoria District. After a little waiting, the train passed heading back to Blair Yard. |

NS 3462 |
| Description: |
I meant to jump onto CR 216 to head back to State Road 613 and follow the Fostoria District back toward home, but I accidently stayed of St. Road 29 and went into Findlay. So I grabbed some food at Captain Ds in town. While ordering, I heard NS L74 get a track warrant to proceed from Arcadia to Lima which set up the perfect opportunity to shoot a train by the NKP signals at the diamond with the Toledo Branch in town. Findlay isnt exactly the greatest place to be after dark, but I wasnt sure when Id get an opportunity to do this again. After quite a bit of waiting, the train showed up, utilizing the same power as NS L71 did earlier in the day. Not the greatest shot either but I wasnt expecting much with it being after dark. A great way to cap off a slow, but good day trackside! |
