NS 4144 Leads Grain Train North | Ridgeton Annapolis Rd. Railroad Crossing, Chatfield, OH

Thursday, November 13, 2025
We move to this crossing as we knew and heard that this train was not very far behind 178. A few minutes after we set up, NS 51E-10 heads north with an NS AC44C6M and an NS C44-9W at the Ridgeton Annapolis Road railroad Crossing in Chatfield on the Sandusky District.

This nice 1990s NS gated crossing would not see any changes since I last recorded it.

Consist:
NS 51E-10 (As Needed Grain Empties) [Radford, NC - Maumee, OH]
NS 4144 - GE AC44C6M
NS 9937 - GE C44-9W
