Eastern Railroad Discussion > Fostoria questionDate: 08/09/20 13:17 Fostoria question Author: robbie I'm from Columbus, but I have a son and family in Perrysburg. Whenever I visit I go home via Fostoria. Had a strange situation yesterday and tjhose who know the Iron Triange region better than I do can probably help me out. I saw a long CSX primarily trash train going west on the old B & O and turning south toward Marion and probably Columbus. It didn't clear the eastern most CSX crossing in Fostoria so on my way home going south on 23 I turned right and found a crossing on the old C & O. I saw the engine of the trash train to the north and a stopped northbound freight south of the crissing,,,ON THE SAME TRACK, with no crossover in sight. I waited almost an hour until dark and nothing moved. Does anyone have a clue as to what might have happened?
