Eastern Railroad Discussion > A local freight in Fostoria. Ohio at the break of day.Date: 07/19/19 12:29 A local freight in Fostoria. Ohio at the break of day. Author: jkh2cpu After retirement, I began to chase trains like I
did before I had many whiskers. I used to travel down to Fostoria, Ohio to spend a night or two and take numerous pictures of trains. Here's an example of that morning glow. John.

The local crew working at the time of this photo had just delivered loaded autoracks to Pemberville siding using a 4 axle engine. I know this because I heard them talking to the dispatcher right before I spoke to the dispatcher.

I took a close look at the sequence of shots, and sure enough, I see three cars in this photo, and five in the next one. Indeed he is probably coming off the line to Columbus and headed back west with the empties. John. Date: 07/19/19 14:29 Re: A local freight in Fostoria. Ohio at the break of day.
