OMLX 1701 |
| Description: |
The NOW shoves the remainder of their train down one of the sidings in Tiffin and prepares to call it a day. The entire day, we had been tracking a very rare movement on the CSX Toledo Branch. CSXs "GMS-2", the track geometry car, was making its way north to Toledo from Columbus on the former Conrail line. The geometry car hardly ever makes it off the east coast, so we knew it was something that we needed to track down. We got this last shot of the NOW and parted ways. A very successful chase! |

AB1 backs down into Valero and with that being said, the chase is over and its time to head back to main line rails in Ohio. Got exactly what I was looking for in this chase! Hope to do it again soon! |

| 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. |

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. |

MALX 4444 |
| Description: |
At North Bend, the CIND and CSX split and gain a little bit of distance from US 50, and there is also another CG&B plant. The one at the North Bend location uses a high hood GP9 to shuttle cars. Unfortunately, they were not working when we parked here, but that may have actually been in our favor. If they were working we probably would not have been able to sit here. |

INER 5903 |
| Description: |
CSX went dead once again, and there were posts on Facebook saying that there were new CPKC painted engines leading trains both east and west on the NS Chicago Line. So, the day on CSX ultimately became an afternoon on NS. So, we got on I69 and headed up toward Waterloo. As we exited at Waterloo, I heard over the scanner "INER 5903 departing Pleasant Lake eastbound". With our trains on NS still fairly far away, I called John up and asked him if he wanted to go a bit further north to the INER. He had never shot the INER before, so he gave it the greenlight and we continued north to Ashley. I assumed that the train would beat us to Steubenville before we would get there, so we worked that direction. We went up toward the connection at Steubenville and noticed that an INER truck was parked at the switch, so the train had yet to reach the connection. We moved a crossing to the north, and there was our train. We had expected a normal freight. Well, we were very wrong. They were moving a part of the sanding tower in Pleasant Lake today. The train was shoving from Pleasant Lake to Steubenville, then would pull west toward Hudson. I say we made the right choice coming up here! A couple firsts for both John and I! |
