Описание: Tuesday, October 28, 2025
We would just move down a couple thousand feet to this crossing and we immediately see an oil train getting off the Sandusky District to the Toledo District. We set up again after hearing a horn and managed to catch NS 65D heading west with an NS SD70IAC leading an NS SD70ACe at the George Street railroad crossing in Clyde on the Toledo District.

This crossing has a pair of late 1980s or early 1990s gated signals that would see their diagonally striped gates restriped with vertical striping and the left signals Safetran mechanical bell being replaced with a GS type 3 E-Bell.

NS 65D (As Needed Ethanol Empties) [Selma, NC - Bluffton, IN]
