As I said in the last post, I decided to head down to Fostoria. I was actually thinking of heading west of there towards Tiffin because someone pointed out a spot where I could get some cool pictures of trains. Unfortunately, I wanted to get back to Toledo before dark because I was hoping to catch the Saginaw as she worked her way back up the Maumee River. That didn't happen though. At any rate....trains!
I found a nice little spot where you can get some good angles on trains as they come in from the north. I kind of like this shot with the lines leading into the train.
I like this shot a little more though because it looks like I was in a little danger, but as you can see, the tracks angle away.
The train safely moves away from me but I discovered another interesting thing....the grain cargo doesn't always make it all the way in the train.
A shot of her cab as she pulls away.
It was actually a pretty busy day yesterday, it wasn't long before another train appeared.
I was using manual mode for this shot because the train lights mess with the light readings.
Again, it pulls away.
Nextup was a Union Pacific train hauling some reefer cars.
Well, three engines.
I kind of liked the killer trout.
And Homer was pretty cool.
I liked the continuation of the donut theme.
I don't remember what this monster was.
But this monster is a BNSF engine.
A pair of CSX engines.
And of course the sun came out as I was getting ready to leave.
