Since brakie did a summer retrospective I thought I'd continue the theme. Enjoy!
An eastbound Norfolk Southern stack train blasts past Worthington Steel's switcher near Delta, Ohio on September 19th. There is a third track that allows for interplant moves between Worthington and neighboring North Star / BHP Steel.
The Adrian & Blissfield's equipment rests between runs in Blissfield on September 20th. This southern Michigan shortline operates freight and dinner train service on a former New York Central line.
A westbound brings 'em on through Oak Harbor on October 7th. Oak Harbor is -- you guessed it -- two-hundred-sixty-six miles from Buffalo on Norfolk Southern's former Conrail "Chicago Line." The elevated line is the original NS route through town, the Toledo District.
A southbound K185 hustles taconite pellets through Deshler on October 21st. This train normally rates a pair of CSX's AC44s so some variety was welcomed on this day.
"What do you mean air conditioning is optional?" A westbound Norfolk Southern freight cruises through Fostoria on September 25th. The train over the former C&O diamond and is about to hit the former B&O diamond.
Indiana Northeastern's 1601 shoves emptys into the siding in Edon for loading later in the week. This former Wabash line makes up the bottom of the INER's Z-shaped system.
