Album Info:Got word that the Adrian and Blissfield would be running today. As luck would have it they were! And not only that, but they were running with one of the corporate painted engines short hood forward! Found luck with this chase! Also got some action on NS and CSX heading home. Enjoy!

ADBF 1752
Title:  ADBF 1752
Description:  Driggs Road follows the tracks all the way into Blissfield from Palmyra, which made it a very easy chase from there. Along the way, some construction equipment was doing some resurfacing work on the road. I got out and snapped a couple photos of the train pasing the dump trucks. One of the dump truck drivers and the engineer on the train exchanged horn blows.

Description:  AB1 crosses Lane Street passing the Blissfield Depot and Range Root Home Furnishings. Traffic was busy so I wasnt able to set up for the shot I wanted, but I will take it nonetheless.

Description:  AB1 backs down into Valero and with that being said, the chase is over and its time to head back to main line rails in Ohio. Got exactly what I was looking for in this chase! Hope to do it again soon!

GTW 4704
Title:  GTW 4704
Description:  I decided to follow the DT&I back to Delta just in case the IORY Flat Rock Job had began to head north. While I didnt find the Flat Rock Turn, I did find former GTW 4704 spotting cars at the Andersons. This is the first time I have seen this unit out and working. Unfortunately, it seems like the Andersons has removed the GT logo from the side. It had it on still when I was up here in May, so it had to have been taken off just recently.

Title:  NS 5346
Description:  Back on the Waterlevel Route, I found NS B41 preparing to open up Northstar Steel. The leader for todays B41 was NS 5346, which sports a crazy sounding RS3L.

CSX 3375
Title:  CSX 3375
Description:  I followed the NS all the way to Archbold with nothing (crew shortages were a problem today) so I decided to head down to CSX. Sure enough, a westbound train had been lined up at East Defiance, so I decided to catch it at Harris Road east of town. After a little waiting, a westbound K train popped around the slight bend with a solo CSX GEVO leading.

BNSF 8268
Title:  BNSF 8268
Description:  I moved into town and decided to try to shoot the next couple of trains crossing the Maumee River. I had never done that before as many times as I have been here. It took some time finding a good place to park, but eventually I did and I began the waiting game. I knew I had both an eastbound and a westbound approaching, but I couldnt tell where each of them were. All of a sudden I heard the North Bend Defect Detector go off and sure enough, there went my eastbound which was Q370 with the NCSTL sticker unit on the point. With aggravation now running through my veins, I decided to stay up on the bridge to insure that I would not miss my westbound. After a little more waiting, CSX Q171 roared west through town with the usual pair of BNSF GEVOs

NS 5242
Title:  NS 5242
Description:  After Q368 passed, CSX got quiet, so I knew it was time to begin heading back toward home. Since East Wayne was on my way I figured there was no point in skipping out on possible action there. Sure enough I found it. The DN22 job was working the west end of the yard with NS 5242 and I was able to grab it in perfect sunshine.
