Fostoria / Greenwich / Deshler May 2015 Trip Report

[ChessieForever]

BL2-1843 and I spent four straight days trainwatching in northern Ohio last week. Spent from
6am Thursday morning, May 21 through 6am Friday morning, May 22 in Fostoria. Then headed
east to Greenwich where we spent from 7:30am through 5:00pm at the diamonds. Headed back
west late Friday afternoon and checked out what was happening around the CSX yard in Willard,
and by 7pm had crashed at a local Willard motel for the night. After a reviving 9 hours of
sleep we hit the road by 6:30am Saturday morning, May 23 and headed for Deshler catching as
many trains along the way as we could. Arrived Deshler Crossroads Park around 8:15am and
remained in Deshler until 12:15pm Sunday afternoon, May 24 when we called it quits to our
four day train watching marathon event and headed back home. Details Below:
