Yesterday I seen a mixed freight train going through Tiffin yesterday. The power it had was two BNSF's and one CSX.

[Tcostello105]

Great Video i cant wait for Summer then I'll be back at Berea or maybe even Fostoria OH if i get a chance.

[ConrailForever]

Thanks!

[jerjar2]

Nice video! Man there has been alot more FedEx on all the CSX trains, I also heard they added a couple?

[ConrailForever]

Thanks! CSX has a couple new train symbols, being Q162 and Q160. There should also be a few more once the North Baltimore Intermodal Terminal is complete.

[jerjar2]

I heard that Q162 just took the place of Q112, but then again I heard that they abolished Q118 lol. Apparently not. To many trains to keep them all streight ha

[ConrailForever]

Q162 did in fact take the place of Q112, but only west of Selkirk. Q118 is also abolished, and Q160 has replaced it, as well as taken some of Q164's pickup. Q164 is now a very short train. Q160 is extremely lengthy and looks like the old Q164 with extra pickups thrown in, all double stacked.

[CSXno601]

@jerjar2 Q162 has replaced Q112 west of Selkirk. Q162 runs in Q112's old time slot. Q160 has been added, and has taken the place of Q118, which is now abolished. Q165 has also been abolished. Also, Q161 and Q157 have swapped pulls. Q157 now is runs with Q117 and Q109 in the evening, and Q161 is later at night with Q119 and Q169.

[jerjar2]

@CSXno601 Thanks for the info, it would be alot easier to keep up with if I lived out there haha. Quick question, the trains like Q/L110, Q109, Q/L117 are still daily right, for some reason I can't upload the train schedules from my yahoo group

[ConrailForever]

Yes, Q110/109/117 all still run daily. I know Q110 runs as L110 on Sunday and Monday, but I'm not sure what days Q117 runs as L117.

[jerjar2]

@ConrailForever thanks man

[ConrailForever]

Thanks, Geoff!

[coryrusch]

Great Video Cody! I really need to get there some time.

[ConrailForever]

Thanks, Cory!

[csxketh1]

Is Fostoria dangerous at night?

[ConrailForever]

Not really, no.

[csxketh1]

@ConrailForever Good. The reason I ask is because where I railfan (especially at night) things can get really dangerous, especially on the back roads.

[crail4ever]

sweet video Cody!

[ConrailForever]

Thanks, Tommy!

[lahluv]
