Spent wednesday night at the park in Deshler and the depot in Fostoria. The following is what I saw. Sorry..no train symbols. I think I'm missing a CSX road channel in my scanner.. Listed first is what track, then power, then what type of train

This train came back north and went around SE wye.
EB Willard Sub. CSX 232 CSX 343 coal train

On the drive to Fostoria, I passed two WB intermodals.

Sounds like another fabulous day in Fostoria, not that there is ever a bad one. It's good to see a Fostoria report here again after all of those were lost on the old forums.

I noticed there is a thread "posting trip reports" where one questions the rules of this forum. I'm hoping reports like this are still welcome, along with those from passenger experiences.

I enjoy both.

Hey guys! I probably know one or both of you, as I'm sure you must have been at Holloway Rd and the NS tracks one time or another. I used to be there a lot over the last 10 years or so...

Is that grass along the main there at Holloway public property?
