CSX 576 |
| Description: |
Today Dad and I were on our way to the Model Train Show just north of Columbus, OH. I had never been to this show before, but Dad had been going for several years. With the day off, I decided to accompany him. We took a straight shot into Columbus on US 33, but made a quick pitstop in Wapakoneta when we saw a green signal for a northbound and a headlight to our south. We went into town and grabbed CSX M352 splitting the station and the other buildings with a pair of AC4400CWs. |

Next train we caught wasnt until after the show (which was very good by the way. Dad and I got several good buys), which was NS 858 northbound on the NS Sandusky District through Worthington. |

NS 7552 |
| Description: |
After NS 858 cleared, a huge NS 276 followed southbound with a sole GE up front. An abandoned gate sat off in the weeds on the north side of the crossing, so I decided to incorporate in the shot. |

WE 7023 |
| Description: |
While we knew we had a few more NS trains out there, we heard over the radio way up north in Bucyrus that Wheeling 431 was receiving a warrant west on the CF&E at Colsan. We decided to forgo our NS traffic and try our best to get north to Upper Sandusky to grab the Wheeling. Thankfully, we did end up making it just in time to see the sole SD40-2 leading its fairly hefty train of gondolas bound for the IORY in Lima. |

CP 8865 |
| Description: |
Soon, CSX B160 came rolling into town with a pleasant surprise on the front; a CP GEVO. This train comes directly off the CP at Bensenville, but with declining coal/coke traffic, this train doesnt run very often anymore. It was a nice catch underneath the giant Heritage Coop elevator! |

Mennel Mill Switcher |
| Description: |
CSX had just spotted a train at Heritage Coop shortly before we arrived in Upper, the crew was picked up by a van and taken north and west to North Baltimore, but the power had been left behind sitting at the Mennel Mill on the north side of town, which gave us a chance to shoot the centercab switcher there, and the CSX power from the grain train. |

NS 6155 |
| Description: |
Marion was going to be our original stopping location for the day, but with the Wheeling that obviously changed. With the days getting longer, however, we decided to work south and spend the remainder of the day around town. NS has just recently began parking their local power on the wye connecting with the CSX B-Line by AC Tower. NS 6155, a former N&W SD40-2, is the currently power for the local. This engine used to be a regular resident of the Fort Wayne area, but it has been gone for quite some time. Good to see that it is still out there kicking. |

A Santa Fe GP30 sits at the former intermodal ramp on the east side of town. For its age, it is in pretty good condition. This is the second time we have shot this unit. Hopefully one day we might actually see it run. |
