Having read about Fostoria, I decided to take the time and visit the city. It was worth the drive. CSX, NS both run through this town. But that wasn't all! UP! BNSF with brand new cars westbound for the coal mines! I mean these cars were right off the lot-well from the factory. My nephew could read the date on the fast moving hoppers and he told me it read 06-06. That is fairly new!
So enjoy the photos! From top to bottom: UP with coal heading east. BNSF with those new cars heading west. NS heading west. To the right, out of the photograph, is the Fostoria station (not open) which has a parking lot between the CSX and NS lines. Good location. The bottom photo was taken near the F tower, near the CSX diamonds and NS. The CSX is heading east. Go to http://www.trains.com/trn/default.aspx?c=a&id=529 for more info.
