Even if I am not driving, I still prefer to stay out of that state.

Driving "there" fast was my problem.

GRHC - you know every night I can imagine he is in front of his computer screen sitting in his underwear swearing profusely and drinking Blatz beer combing the RailRoadFan website for grammatical errors.

I also prefer to avoid Ohio as much as possible. Their speed laws (and enforcement of same laws) are far too restrictive for my tastes.

Haven't seen one of them yet. Mostly I see Crown Vics (eh, Police Interceptors) on the Toll Road. I did see a bunch of motorcycle cops between Waterloo (Butler exit) and Ft. Wayne last time I was down that way though. Talk about not being able to see 'em before they see you... Too bad OSHA won't outlaw motorcycles for law enforcement use.
Should we close the vote early? Deshler spring/South Bend fall sounds good to me as well... I dont know about me making the South Bend meet, but thats yet to be answered.

CSX: CSX runs mostly manifest freights through here, but intermodals are also frequent. If you visit on a Sunday you can usually catch Q345, which interchanges grain cars with the I&O.
Not trying to sidetrack again and out of curiousity, but when did a Q345 do switching in Hamler? I have been fanning the Deshler area for years and never heard of such a train in the area.

BTW I vote for Deshler
That info is from a post on another forum and Y@ posted that almost two years ago. So... I'm guessing that it may have changed. I just posted it because someone asked what else was there to see near Deshler.
WE'VE WRITTEN A LOT ABOUT DESHLER BEFORE. IT IS A FUN SPOT TO RAILFAN AND THERE ARE OTHER LOCATIONS CLOSE BY WITH RAIL ACTIVITY.
AS STATED B 4 ---THE SPRING MEET WILL BE IN DESHLER.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS WHAT Y@ WANTS AND WE MUST FOLLOW THE WISHES OF Y@.
CAN SOMEBODY WITH KOMPUUTR SKILZ POST A LINK TO ANY PICS FROM THE LAST DESHLER BONFIRE AND MEET ?
Well...maybe...
