Fostoria, Ohio Videos
With a four-day weekend for the Fourth of July in 1996, I borrowed a video camera for the weekend, and that Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons, I went to the former B&O/Amtrak station to tape some trains, making a nearly two-hour video, which I've since burned to DVD.

All videos were shot on the south side of the CSX (former B&O) main in front of the station with the exception of the second video, which was shot in the parking lot on the north side of the CSX main.
