Re: NS Fostoria District Traffic
rxThe NS line through Fostoria is double track. Used to have quite a bit of traffic, as did the CSX. Have not been there in a while due to being sick. My son and I once counted about 65 trains, ON BOTH LINES,CSX AND NS , in a 12 hour time frame. Don't know what it is now. Probably less.

Nick - feel free to turn on the Fostoria webcam, count the number of NS trains over the past 12 hours. Wait 12 hours, pull up the camera feed again, rewind the previous 12 hours again and get a 24 hour count. Same advise we gave for getting CN train counts:

Re: NS Fostoria District Traffic
11 scheduled trains per day, 8 locals. Average day last week showed 12 trains (other than locals) through there, with high mark of last Monday having 17 trains and low mark of last Sunday having 9 trains
The dispatcher is cool.

Re: NS Fostoria District Traffic
The last time I did 24 hours at Fostoria was in May of 2022 I can't believe its been a year and 7 months already but I got 8 trains on NS that is the lowest amount I ever got in a 24 period at Fostoria since I started going there in February of 1992. Back in the 1990s it was consistently between 20 and 30 trains per 24 hours on NS and then the breakup of Conrail happened and some trains where diverted by 2001.
