I am always curious about this but how busy is the CSX Toledo Branch south of Galatea?

Some quick research on the forum and other sources mention a common range between 4-7 per day using the Toledo Branch. I am not symbol-specific on the trains that use the transfer, though there would likely be a little less traffic south of Galatea than what it would be north, due to the single wye track - trains that use the wye will bypass cities south of there (such as Findlay).

Yes.
Overflow that will not go on Q246 for Chicago. Then added to Q209 for Chicago at Walbridge.

For some reason I feel like all of the CSX north south lines in Ohio are growing with rail traffic
