The WIllard sub begins at Deshler going east, west of there it is the Garrett sub. Fostoria itself is its own sub, with the Willard sub continuing on from East Fostoria east. Deshler also has the Toledo sub running north-south. Fostoria has the Columbus sub south, and the Pemberville sub running north.

On June 25, in about 14 hours at Fostoria, I had 62 trains. Examining my logs and comparing to Y@'s log from the same day, there would have been 44 through Deshler in the same time frame.

The operations through Fostoria can get a bit hectic, due to the NE and SE corner connections. However, the NS (NKP) can be interesting. If I had to guess, Fostoria could get 90-100 trains/day depending on the day.

Deshler on the other hand can be a little more interesting with the operations, tower, and railfan park. Deshler does have less traffic overall than Fostoria, but maybe the experience is a bit higher quality vs. Fostoria. Deshler would probably have 70/day on average.
