CSX and NS Trains in Fostoria, OH (1 of 2)

Описание: The busy railfan mecca of Fostoria, OH, where CSX's busy ex-B&O Willard Sub crosses CSX's ex-C&O mainline, which is the Pemberville Sub to the north and Columbus Sub to the south. Of course, Norfolk Southern's Fostoria District crosses both lines at an angle, forming the "Iron Triangle".

This clip solely features various trains from all times of the day at the NS/ex-B&O crossing, which NS refers to as "B&O Crossing" and CSX refers to as "Wood Street". The other two crossings in town will be shown in Part 2.

TONS of UP and BNSF power to go along with the NS and CSX power, plus some CN and KCS.

TRAIN 1: CSX manifest Q393 blasts westbound and makes a lot of noise at the NS diamond.

TRAIN 2: Empty LPG train W201 heads east with run-thru BNSF power.

TRAIN 3: UP and CSX power team up on frac sand train W238.

TRAIN 4: CN power leads NS manifest 12Q east.

TRAIN 5: BNSF power leads Q151 off the connection from the C&O to the B&O.

TRAIN 6: 5 UP motors wreak havoc with my camcorder as they blast westbound on empty produce train Q091.

TRAIN 7: Empty NS grain train 55W flies by westbound.

TRAIN 8: BNSF and KCS power team up on a CP ethanol run-thru, K636.

TRAIN 9: UP and NS power lead westbound NS manifest M17.

TRAIN 10: CSX and UP power lead westbound intermodal Q137. On a very sad note, this was the very train where two CSX employees were killed on in the Washington D.C. area when they were hit by an Amtrak train while inspecting a bad order car.

TRAIN 11: BNSF and NS power lead auto train 280.

TRAIN 12: CSX intermodal Q157 heads west early in the morning.
