WE 5413
Title:  WE 5413
Description:  As soon as the LSL cleared the diamond with the CFE at Sugar Street, WE 430 was given permission to shove down to the connection. A nice number of us grabbed the train underneath the cantilever at CP Morris before heading east.

WE 5413
Title:  WE 5413
Description:  And with that, the chase was on....we thought. CFE had some MOW equipment that they had to get off the tracks first, and with the only side track being in Ada past Upper Sandusky, that was the only option, so the train had to sit in Ada for a good hour to wait on the equipment to get out of the way. By that point, the sun had turned, and I opted to not shoot the train passing the turned PLs outside of Ada, but rather a side shot along Ohio 81 about a quarter mile further to the east. Finally, with the MOW equipment out of the way, the train was underway once again. And yes, I believe I did make the right choice going with this side shot.

WE 5413 and WE 5412
Title:  WE 5413 and WE 5412
Description:  With no traffic ahead of me I was able to slow down a little to grab a few pacing shots where the tracks closely follow OH 53 outside of Kirby. It was pretty warm today and the heat waves didnt help matters, but I did get a few to come out.

Title:  WE 5413
Description:  Wheeling 430 rolls through Upper Sandusky. I had very few chasers along with me at this point, and once I moved east from here, I was the only one left.

WE 5413
Title:  WE 5413
Description:  I decided to pass up on a shot at Nevada as I was worried the train would get a straight shot across the diamond with NS at Bucyrus. Turned out they didnt. and I could have gotten my shot at Nevada, but oh well, maybe next time. I did, however, get a shot I had been wanting to get for a while of a train passing the feed elevator on the west side of Bucyrus.

WE 5413
Title:  WE 5413
Description:  Just as Sandusky Dispatch had said, after one Wheeling 430 continued on. Now on signaled territory, the train gave up their track warrant between Lima and Colsan. I was a bit worried the train would now be doing full tilt at 60 MPH, but thankfully there must have been a speed restriction in place. Once I grabbed my shot of the train passing the MEAD PLs in North Robinson, it was onto Crestline for a shot under the biggest signal bridge in the state of Ohio, and one final shot at CP 75 on CSX.

WE 5413
Title:  WE 5413
Description:  For some reason it didnt cross my mind that the train would be staying on the main at CP West Yard and not going into the yard, so the shot ended up looking a little funky, but Wheeling 430 passes under the massive signal bridge at CP West Yard on the west side of Crestline. Conrail replaced the signals here back in the 80s I believe with trilights (if someone could elaborate on that that would be fantastic), but Ill take the trilights over vaders anyday.

WE 5413
Title:  WE 5413
Description:  Now onto the CSX main line at CP 75, the train passes the trilights in town notching up for the quick trip back to home rails in New London. If it wouldnt have been for having to get to my goddaughters T-Ball game that evening, I would have continued to chase even further. Probably to New London at least. But, the chase ended here as I had reached my limit on time right as the train passed the camera here. What a chase it was! Glad I was able to mark this off the bucket list!

Returning to the Wheeling with the empties a bit later.
Title:  Returning to the Wheeling with the empties a bit later.
Description:  National Inventors Hall of Fame School, Morley Health Center and Quaker Oats silos etc. Quaker Oats has been gone for 50 years, but the silos were converted for hotel use. While it was certainly a novel idea, it didn't last long. The rooms are used by the University of Akron for student housing and that seems to have staying power.
