CSX 4715 Leads Manifest North | Township Rd. 37 Railroad Crossing, Findlay, OH 

Friday, July 19, 2024
Following the long intermodal at Pearl Street, I headed south to this crossing to get ahead of it as it stopped at CP 46 in Hancock Siding, just south of Findlay, due to axle problems. While browsing Facebook, I received a tip about CSX M246 near Dunkirk. Just as I read the message, I spotted headlights. I quickly set up my equipment and managed to capture CSX 4715 leading long M246 north at the Township Road 37 railroad crossing in Findlay on the Toledo Branch.
