A Snowy Winter Day of Railfanning in Fostoria, Ohio. 1/6/2017.

Hello everyone! Here is a compilation of action through Fostoria, Ohio, with a bit of snow. This is the first time in my filming career that I have filmed trains in the snow/when it is snowing, though I have railfanned in the snow before.
While the level of action was good, there were quite a few technical difficulties that caused some delays. First, the crossing gates at Poplar Street over the CSX Willard Subdivision (the ex-Baltimore & Ohio Mainline) malfunctioned, and did not activate for at least 45 minutes. Fortunately, CSX maintenance crews were in the area and were working to fix the problem, but all CSX trains were limited to going no more than 20 mph, as you will see later on in the video. There were also some technical difficulties with the signals for CSX, especially the signals which guarded the crossing of the Pemberville Subdivision (ex-Chesapeake and Ohio line to Toledo) and the CSX Willard Subdivision.
The cold and the snow even caused some technical difficulties for me. You may notice a slight change in quality halfway through the video; as I was filming with my main camera, the snow got caught on the lenses and distorted the focus, making the camera almost useless for quality filming. So, I instead filmed with my backup camera until I could fix my main camera. I did as best as I could with both, and I hope the break between cameras isn't too noticeable.
Hope you enjoy the video, and as always, thanks for watching!

Have you caught any CSX sticker or spirit units?

[@NW475]

I have actually, I caught the Louisville and Nashville (L&N) unit back in July and I have seen the Colonel Philip Hooper, as well as the Spirit of Waycross.

[@WindyCityRails]

Nice Ive seen the Seabord System, Atlantic Coast lines, and both the Spirit of Dante and Mulberry on the same train (which totally caught me by surprise)!

[@NW475]
