Eastern Railroad Discussion > Variety From Around Fostoria OHDate: 02/04/14 05:56 Variety From Around Fostoria OH Author: fireman74 I was in Fostoria OH this past Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning. This is just a small bit of what I caught while I was there. If you can add any info, please do. Thanks for looking. Jay
#1 I found this just outside of Willard OH. Someone was using this as a shed. Could this been a coiled steel cover? #2 An Eastbound ethanol train with ICE power just East of Fostoria. #3 A NS unit switching the autorack yard near Yokum Rd.    Date: 02/04/14 06:02 Re: Variety From Around Fostoria OH Author: fireman74 #4 Without the windows being welded over and still having the flashing light I would call this a caboose.
#5 Another caboose. Both are in the small C&O yard South of F tower. For the record they will always be cabooses to me, not shoving platforms. #6 An Eastbound NS at the mill headed towards F tower.    Date: 02/04/14 06:09 Re: Variety From Around Fostoria OH Author: fireman74 #7 A Westbound coke train Passing the new viewing park, formerly the meat packing plant.
#8 A meet at the same spot viewed from Columbus Ave. #9 A CSX freight with BNSF power at Girton Rd outside of Risingsun OH on the old C&O.    Date: 02/04/14 06:17 Re: Variety From Around Fostoria OH Author: fireman74 #10 A Westbound CSX passes a sitting BNSF unit at Columbus Ave.
#11 This CSX train was turning onto the old C&O about to cross Columbus Ave. Thanks to the Fostoria City for the new viewing park. #12 An Eastbound NS at S. Poplar St.    Date: 02/04/14 06:23 Re: Variety From Around Fostoria OH Author: fireman74 #13 That same Eastbound looking at the signals.
#14 An Eastbound NS at the Mill on the West end of town near Findlay St. #15 An CSX Eastbound at the station near dusk.    Date: 02/04/14 06:27 Re: Variety From Around Fostoria OH Author: fireman74 # 16 Another CSX freight near Risingsun.
# 17 A NS meet at the viewing park. # 18 And last a CSX Westbound at the entrance to the Park. Thanks again for looking. Jay    Date: 02/04/14 06:30 Re: Variety From Around Fostoria OH Author: RAILWATCH Nice to know there are some Chessie System items lingering around. I also saw that double ICE unit in Brooklyn Heights on Friday afternoon heading East.
Thanks for sharing. - Denny, Lakewood, OH Date: 02/04/14 06:37 Re: Variety From Around Fostoria OH Author: jkh2cpu Like that #15 a lot... Two coming at us: one close, one in the background.

Date: 02/04/14 09:42 Re: Variety From Around Fostoria OH Author: EL-SD45-3632 Nice series of photos. Yes, that is an ex coil cover. CSX got rid of a lot of them years ago and a lot of area farmers picked them up for their farm animal shelters to get out of the weather.
Date: 02/04/14 14:04 Re: Variety From Around Fostoria OH Author: toledopatch Photo #6 is probably NS #218.
The CSX eastbound at Risingsun is likely Q394, which often has power shuttling east to Willard for servicing. It normally runs in the morning, but has been way off schedule of late. Date: 02/04/14 16:04 Re: Variety From Around Fostoria OH Author: farmer H795 is the BNSF unit sitting at the yard off Columbus Avenue.
Date: 02/04/14 16:51 Re: Variety From Around Fostoria OH Author: jmbreitigan Nice Jay. Photo #15 is intriguing.
John Date: 02/04/14 17:39 Re: Variety From Around Fostoria OH Author: ns1000 You had an interesting 3 days!!
Date: 02/04/14 19:40 Re: Variety From Around Fostoria OH Author: fireman74 Thanks everyone. It was fun. I took 297 pics in those days.
