Fostoria Ohio Trains: CSX, NS, UP, BNSF, CP, SOO, CR

**********THE PLANS FOR THE FOSTORIA RAIL PARK HAVE BEEN PUT ON HOLD BY THE ODOT, PROBABLY DUE TO BUDGET FUNDING.********** ( Bring in 6 or 8 tri-axles of stone, 140-170 tons, level it, put up blue "Porta-potty", a couple fire-rings, like Deshler, and I'd be all set, we'd bring lawn-chairs, that's good enough for now!) ................................................................................................
This was my first trip to Fostoria for rail-fanning, what an amazing couple hours that was. I seen close to 20 trains all together in that time-frame. I missed a Eastbound CSX intermodal, and then almost at the same time missed two side by side Norfolk Southern's heading Westward towards Fort Wayne. On the way out a CSX was coming from the East taking the wye to the South, as another CSX set in the distance waiting on either an East or Westbound train,as I left town, sure enough about a mile out I passed the oncoming CSX auto-rack that he was waiting on. I seen: CSX, Conrail's, Norfolk Southern's, BNSF's, CP Rail's, Soo-Line (nice to see that) & Union Pacific's.
Yes, these videos have been edited, to fit in one "less then 10 minute video", or I would have had close to 2 hours length. The BNSF Coal drag was 131 cars long, all aluminum hoppers, at the 7 minute point, one had purple and yellow graffitti, other then that all pretty much the same, that train alone was a 9 minute 55 second video recording.
Currently they are working on the future "Rail Park", it is fenced in with chain-link, and "No Trespassing" signs, I parked by where the future entrance appears to be, two bulldozers are there right now, no one run me off, so I take it that was alright. There is a drive with the snow plowed all the way around it, don't know about the other spots along there for sure, or what CSX allows on that side, I didn't want to take any chances though, too far from home to be arrested for trespassing... lol
