BNSF 9190 |
| Description: |
I had another personal day to use from work, and what better way to spend it than going out into the hot August weather and watching trains! Yesterday I received word from some other railfans that the Adrian and Blissfield was scheduling a run between home base in Adrian and the DT&I Mainline in Blissfield. I had never shot the ADBF before, so I decided head up there and try my luck! On my way north I got stopped by NS 881 with a very loud BNSF SD70ACe on the point on the east side of Delta. |

ADBF 1752 |
| Description: |
And sure enough, I found them! The train was picking up cars off the interchange with NS. What really pleased me is that ADBF 1752 was todays power. A high hood in the corporate image! Today was going to be a good day! |

ADBF 1752 |
| Description: |
Driggs Road follows the tracks all the way into Blissfield from Palmyra, which made it a very easy chase from there. Along the way, some construction equipment was doing some resurfacing work on the road. I got out and snapped a couple photos of the train pasing the dump trucks. One of the dump truck drivers and the engineer on the train exchanged horn blows. |

GTW 4704 |
| Description: |
I decided to follow the DT&I back to Delta just in case the IORY Flat Rock Job had began to head north. While I didnt find the Flat Rock Turn, I did find former GTW 4704 spotting cars at the Andersons. This is the first time I have seen this unit out and working. Unfortunately, it seems like the Andersons has removed the GT logo from the side. It had it on still when I was up here in May, so it had to have been taken off just recently. |

CSX 3375 |
| Description: |
I followed the NS all the way to Archbold with nothing (crew shortages were a problem today) so I decided to head down to CSX. Sure enough, a westbound train had been lined up at East Defiance, so I decided to catch it at Harris Road east of town. After a little waiting, a westbound K train popped around the slight bend with a solo CSX GEVO leading. |

BNSF 8268 |
| Description: |
I moved into town and decided to try to shoot the next couple of trains crossing the Maumee River. I had never done that before as many times as I have been here. It took some time finding a good place to park, but eventually I did and I began the waiting game. I knew I had both an eastbound and a westbound approaching, but I couldnt tell where each of them were. All of a sudden I heard the North Bend Defect Detector go off and sure enough, there went my eastbound which was Q370 with the NCSTL sticker unit on the point. With aggravation now running through my veins, I decided to stay up on the bridge to insure that I would not miss my westbound. After a little more waiting, CSX Q171 roared west through town with the usual pair of BNSF GEVOs |

After Q368 passed, CSX got quiet, so I knew it was time to begin heading back toward home. Since East Wayne was on my way I figured there was no point in skipping out on possible action there. Sure enough I found it. The DN22 job was working the west end of the yard with NS 5242 and I was able to grab it in perfect sunshine. |
