Fostoria - Ohio's Iron Triangle

The Iron Triangle in Fostoria, Ohio, offers some of the best train watching possibilities in the eastern United States, with two CSX lines and a busy Norfolk Southern route providing an endless parade of modern railroading, These scenes were filmed on Saturday, August 2, 2008.

First, a loaded coal train heads west on NS through the Main Street diamonds. then a passing intermodal train is spotted at Q tower on CSX's former B&O main. After the trailer train, a loaded autorack train passes through the Columbus Avenue diamonds to transfer from the old C&O line for it's trip east.

Later, a pair of thoroughbred eastbound freights are seen passing the main street crossing, followed by an empty coke express train on CSX.

Used to live a block from these tracks. Trains got annoying REAL quick eventually I seemed to ignore them though. To this day fostoria is still busy with trains though.
