Peering through the shimmering September heatwaves, a southbound CSX manifest freight plays a bit of hide-and-seek with the iconic B&O color position light signals at the famous Deshler diamonds. As the train charges south toward Lima, Ohio, the signal masts briefly obscure the locomotives in the distance before the power finally emerges from the distortion of the heat. Leading the train is a modern GEVO, paired with a veteran GE AC4400CW, providing a nice mix of contemporary CSX horsepower. Filmed at the legendary railfan hotspot Deshler, Ohio, where the ex-B&O Willard Subdivision meets the Toledo Subdivision, this location continues to deliver some of the best mainline railroading action in the Midwest. If you enjoy classic B&O signals, heavy manifest freights, and modern GE power, Deshler never disappoints!

 Railfan hotspot Deshler, Ohio delivers again as a westbound Union Pacific intermodal stack train slowly creeps across the famous CSX Toledo Subdivision diamonds. Deshler is one of the most popular train-watching locations in the Midwest thanks to its busy diamond crossing and frequent freight traffic. Providing the muscle for this train is a pair of EMD SD70M locomotives without the flared radiators, a design detail that stands out to locomotive enthusiasts. As the long stack train rolls over the former Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) mainline, the sound of wheels clattering across the diamonds is classic railroading. With constant action from multiple railroads, Deshler remains a must-visit destination for railfans looking to capture modern freight operations in the heart of northwest Ohio.

 📍 Location: Deshler, Ohio 

🚂 Railroad: Union Pacific (on CSX trackage) 

⚙️ Power: EMD SD70M (non-flared radiators) 

🚦 Line: CSX Toledo Subdivision (ex-B&O) If you enjoy stack trains, modern diesel power, and diamond crossings, be sure to like and subscribe for more railroad action!

 Amtrak’s westbound Southwest Chief cruises across the historic Raton Pass Line at Milepost 686 while passing an FRA inspection truck working alongside the railroad. The famous Chicago–Los Angeles train is moving at track speed through the high plains when it encounters the maintenance vehicle observing operations. A unique detail on this train is the Pacific Surfliner coach riding on the rear of the consist—an uncommon sight far from its usual California territory. Moments like this show how interesting long-distance passenger trains can be, with equipment sometimes traveling far from home rails. Filmed on September 2, 2020, this clip captures classic Amtrak mainline action on one of the most scenic and historic passenger routes in the United States.
