14 hours at Sandusky, Ohio-You Bet!
Author: bath_wildcat

After having the weekend off last week and the weekend prior (wedding in Lima, Ohio) I went out here trackside to see how busy it really gets on the weekend. I was not disappointed at all, however I am starting this from the time Amtrak 49 rolled into Sandusky, Ohio, as it was daylight enough to do some Photos. I also have the logs from overnight if any one is interest in me posting them as well. The old cell I shot these with has since taken its last breath, however I will be shooting with my new Moto G4 Play. It has the same resolution of the old cell, so I'm gonna see how it works here soon.

NS 4044 sitting here in Sandusky, Ohio. Ironically the very same locomotive that I caught leading 23K with 4002 trailing May 24th. Anyone have any idea why its still here shut down in Sandusky, Ohio?

Superliner connections and truck comparisons. Shot these FROM the platform itself. No Trespassing was done, as the 29 was that close.

WTF moment-Trackhoe using a ramp to get on top of Ballast cars to dig out ballast in said cars-Looked really risky and unsafe, but what do I know?

*Was going to call it at Noon, but saw a guy in Wauseon Posted on Facebook that the 8101 was by him, so I stayed for just this one. Makes my 10th Heritage catch, and halfway there to getting them all.
