As the video begins, we hear the unmistakable sound of a large steam locomotive at the western Fostoria diamond
at 5:40 PM EST Sep 16, 2013. In the background of the left frame, a CSX mixed freight departs westward to make way for the restored Steam Locomotive NKP #765 to cross the the diamond on Norfolk Southern's tracks. Unfortunately the steam and smoke are so intense, this cam's view is largely obstructed. In the right frame, the steam train's passage halts B&O yard work for a four-axle CSX shunter.

The NKP #765 is preserved by the Fort Wayne RR Historical Society and frequents trips eastward to Fostoria using it successors tracks, the Norfolk Southern.
