Re: B22

So sometime soon I would like to head to Albion to "railfan" because I am trying to build up my patience level when railfanning but I would like to know does B22 terminate on the West or East end of Albion? What will being in Albion specifically do for your patience level compared to anywhere else?...

Re: NS Fostoria District Traffic

Nick - feel free to turn on the Fostoria webcam, count the number of NS trains over the past 12 hours. Wait 12 hours, pull up the camera feed again, rewind the previous 12 hours again and get a 24 hour count. Same advise we gave for getting CN train counts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siw7qIsn2...
