LOVE me some Norfolk Southern. I use to watch them in Fostoria, OH. I always remember how they roll through with some thunder.

Oh yeah! I do enjoy taking pictures of the "ponies." I'll toss up a link to the videos when I get them uploaded to YouTube. Then you can enjoy the thunder again.

Seriously, fully loaded mixed freight, or coal, screaming across two double diamonds at Fostoria...Hell yeah

Something like that, only faster.

Well, east bound they're climbing the grade so I think they went by me at about 40 mph. Not sure what the speed limit is on the mail line there. Slower is better for getting good photos.

The speed of the Fostoria District through that particular area is 35 MPH, according to an old Trains.com article. You can find it here. http://trn.trains.com/photos-videos/hotspots/2006/07/fostoria-ohio

Also, Fostoria now has a no shit rail park, designed just for us. Smack dab in the middle of the iron triangle. https://www.facebook.com/fostoria.railpark and http://fostoriairontriangle.com/

If you haven't been, you need to go.

I've applied for an internship with Norfolk Southern! My hopes are high :D

Good luck!

Should be out here by the coke plant.....so many trains , some so heavy they rattle my house

Nod, nods, but it's hard to get a good trackside spot to take photos. *Hugs*

Depends on where you are , * hugs* but it's nice how fast I got used to hearing them

I was attempting to do some rail photographs this weekend but the lines near my house were very quiet. I will be posting some new photos very soon though.

Well the tracks I sat I expected to be busier. I saw four trains over the course of two hours. Two I photographed and two I videoed with my phone to upload to Youtube.

Better luck next time you get out.

I did catch one yesterday! I will be youtubing it shortly!

Can't wait to see it. Please share the link.
