NKP 757
Title:  NKP 757
Description:  Hands down what was the most shocking to us was to see NKP 757, the resident Berkshire, sitting outside. This is the first time Ive ever seen it, as it is usually kept in the shed. Must have been brought out for the weekend. Its true that TJ brings luck to these trips!

BNSF 7066
Title:  BNSF 7066
Description:  NS 267 snuck through the Mini Plant northbound on the Sandusky District while we were looking at the museum equipment. A solo BNSF GEVO is the headend power. Not quite as exciting as yesterdays 267 but still pretty neat nonetheless.

Junky PC F Unit
Title:  Junky PC F Unit
Description:  It appears the owner of this private collection of equipment just down the road from the museum property has finally had enough of people coming down here. "No Trespassing" has been spraypainted over what was left of the PC logo on the nose. Almost looks like someone tried to re-do it but it didnt work out so well.

NS 7624
Title:  NS 7624
Description:  NS 18M sits on the staging siding on the Fremont Side just northwest of the Mini Plant. Train was completely shut off so we assumed that it would not be moving for a while.

RTEX 4006
Title:  RTEX 4006
Description:  The only train out and about on the Fostoria District between Fostoria and Bellevue was NS 302, which would work Fostoria anyway. Despite having nothing nearby, CSX was no busier, so we decided to follow NS. We made a brief stop in Maple Grove to get shots of the Maple Grove Stone switcher.

CSX 3236
Title:  CSX 3236
Description:  NS 302 was already working the yard so we knew we werent going to be able to get any shots of it, but thankfully some static came to life on CSX, then eventually clear talking, so we raced down to Bascom where we grabbed M215 eastbound by the grain elevator.

CSX 7237
Title:  CSX 7237
Description:  CSX M634 had come into Fostoria to work the C&O yard, but other than that things were very quiet in the "hotspot" town, so we just went over and grabbed some shot of the CSX local power. Not sure if this is being used as one of the yard dogs, but if I had to guess it is. Very sad.

CSX 6280
Title:  CSX 6280
Description:  More appropriate local power sits just south of the big GE by a lot more junk in the yard. Too bad the two units couldnt have swapped places.

CSX 3227
Title:  CSX 3227
Description:  CSX M634 came in on the C&O from the south and began to do some work in the yard, so we ran to the south end of the yard to grab some shots. Other than that, Fostoria was quiet CSX wise. NS was sending a late L70 west though so we had to rush to get back to NS rails.

NS 3282
Title:  NS 3282
Description:  We made it down to the Mennel Mill just in time to get shots of L70, but I completely misfired and ended up not getting the train in the frame at all. So, we raced to Arcadia to get the train coming around the curve at trackspeed there. Not what I wanted, but definitely made up for missing it entirely.

CSX 3246
Title:  CSX 3246
Description:  We continued to follow CSX to Galatea where we stopped at McDonalds to get some food. There were 2 eastbounds back to back that were ready to depart so we went down to the station to grab the first one, which was B664.

Title:  CSX 3094 and CSX 3138

CSX 3240
Title:  CSX 3240
Description:  The main line got dead quiet after M353 went by, so after photographing the pulldown job, we went straight toward Deshler. M560 was just coming off the Toledo Sub when we got there, and we managed to get a shot of it passing the southeast wye CPL.

CSX 892
Title:  CSX 892
Description:  After M560 CSX died off again and we continued west. I016, however, caught up right before we could get into Hamler, so we raced back west to grab shots. It wasnt moving very fast so it wasnt too hard.

PREX 3001
Title:  PREX 3001
Description:  CSX had completely died off after I016. I171 was preparing to leave Deshler when we got around Holgate, so we knew we had some time to kill. We made it to Defiance and decided to stop at the NDW Yard to get some shots of the power. PREX 3001 was up front and center.

PREX 105

Description:  The Gettysburg Unit sits in the exact same place it was a few weeks ago. My guess is it will sit here until Patriot takes it off the property.

PREX 2026
Title:  PREX 2026
Description:  We couldnt find the Santa Fe unit in the yard so we drove down a little further and found it sitting almost at the CSX interchange. Ive never personally seen NDW put power this close to the interchange, but maybe they were preparing for interchange work for Monday on Friday.

BNSF 5535
Title:  BNSF 5535
Description:  We went back to the other side of town to fill up with gas and grab I171 before making a b-line toward Muncie. This would be the final train TJ and I would catch over the trip. And what a trip it was! Could not have asked for anything better! A weekend at Great Wolf Lodge, filled with great trains, with one of my best friends. Cant wait until next years boys trip!

NS 3389
Title:  NS 3389
Description:  Before the day was completely spent, I grabbed food in Muncie and dashed toward Redkey where I heard L80 working. Unfortunately, despite being the only one in line at Burger King, my meal took near 15 minutes to get out to me, and I ended up missing the train running through downtown Redkey. If I wouldnt have stopped to get food I would have closed the trip on a really good note, but seeing a train on this end of the Frankfort District in any kind of daylight in rare in a way. I grabbed the train (now L50) about 2 miles east of town with some wind turbines in the background. What a trip!
