Summerail trip - 2

Hi, We spent Friday evening and Saturday at Summerail in Marion, OH.

As I had taken a number of photos when I attended last year this was the only photo, taken with my cell phone, I took. The train is westbound on the former Big Four route to Columbus and Indianapolis, and is about to cross the NS (former PRR) route to Sandusky, OH.

We left Marion on Sunday, August 12 and proceeded north following CSX toward Toledo. This is former C&O track. Our first stop was Upper Sandusky where we found an EMD SW1 and an ALCO S-1 parked on a side track just south of an elevator (above and two below).

While were there a CSX manifest came south.

On the north side of town this critter was parked next to another grain elevator.

In Carey we hoped to find activity on the Wheeling & Lake Erie. Lots of sitting power but all was quiet.

The National Lime and Stone Co. has a huge quarry here and we found one of their locomotives.

Also while in Carey a CSX local arrived to switch the quarry.

There was a great deal of CSX traffic on the former B&O through Fostoria.

This work train was tied up for the weekend south west of town.

When NS got a break it ran a southbound and

 northbound through town.

Also, they managed to get the L68 local across the diamonds in town to work one of the elevators (above and two below).

Our last photo stop was at Vickers Diamond in Northwood, OH. The train is on CSX and is crossing the NS Chicago Line. Our next stop would be Owosso, MI where we would spend the night.

Thanks for looking.
