A few from the Toledo Sub and a few more from Fostoria

Saturday I had a few hours to go railfaning. CSX was the only one running at the time and it was a slow time of the day so I only caught 2 auto racks and a Northbound coal/coke train. Also a pair of GE 6axles were switching in the yard, I only got a pic of them when they were coming out of the NS side and switching to the CSX side.

Sunday we went to Fostoria to brave the cold ugly wind. I only managed to film half the trains I saw but CSX seemed busy. NS 3322 was shoving a large set into one of the grain shippers.

I saw this parked in the yard, it appears there is a caboose behind the locos. Does anyone hav a pic of this caboose?

Fostoria was having a Halloween parade so this coal train passes by with a salute of fire trucks and marching bands.


On the way back home we took the Lincoln Highway so i could pass through Cairo and my last chance to catch a train for the weekend. This has to be the first time I've actually caught them highballing north of Lima.

I have a cool video of it leading, blowing its whistle for the crossing in front of the B&O depot in Fostoria that I tried to link up here. I don't know if I was doing something wrong or what, but I couldn't get it to work.

And great report BTW!
