Fostoria, Ohio is the point that CSX's North-South ex C&O main line crosses the East-West ex B&O main line at grade, with Norfolk Southern crossing both on the ex Nickle Plate. The area formed by these 3 diamonds is known locally as the iron triangle. Up to 140 trains a day pound the diamonds. We spent two days there from dawn to dusk to bring you lots of action. BNSF & UP and lots of lease units, as well as NS & CSX make appearances. Continuous action.

Fostoria, one of the busiest railroad towns in the USA. One visit I made there in 2007, I counted 178 trains in a day (myself and my son rotated sleeping so we could get a count). Highball does an excellent job with this video in pre-rail fan park times. Lots of variety of motive power is seen and all in a short distance in town.

Fostoria, Ohio is among the hottest of trainwatching hotspots in the United States and Highball Productions takes us there for a couple of days trackside. The camera work, for the most part, was very high quality. The footage was shot around 2004 so the motive power variety was excellent with quite of bit of Conrail showing up. There is one map shown in the beginning and hardly any narration; a better map layout of the CSX/NS lines throughout the program would have made a big difference. If you want to feel like you were in Fostoria soaking up the action, this DVD is for you.
