Hint = it is quite possible this train passed through Hamler, Deshler, Van Wert, etc earlier in the day.

I had browsed a bit yesterday checking lines heading east out of Fostoria, made it over to Cleveland area but didn't continue. Throwing a Youngstown guess in.

GDLK - Saw a string of boxcars and tank cars near Moline about 6:30pm, so maybe they were switching on their southbound run.
