The ballast cleaner I am on finished working on BNSF at the end of August and is now working on CSX.

We are working north (railroad west) toward Fostoria. I was able to get a few pics today; I wasn't able to get to the sunny side on a couple pics.

This beauty is in Harpster, Ohio at a grain elevator; not sure if it is used.

Just because you couldn’t get to the sunny side doesn’t mean they are bad pictures. At some point they may be the only photos available, and a backlit picture is better than no picture.
 
Yesterday I was able to get some more pics in Marion, OH.

I doubt I will get a chance to check out the Marion Union Station so I copied the info from Wikipedia:

Marion Union Station is a former passenger railroad station at 532 W. Center Street in Marion, Ohio. As a union station it served several train lines: the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway or CCC & St. L. (acquired in 1906 by the New York Central Railroad), and Erie Railroad (and its successor Erie Lackawanna Railroad). These lines intersected at the station, so it was a significant transfer point between different geographic points. It was built in 1902 (opening on July 31),[3] it featured marble walls and patterned mosaic tiles on the floor. In 1923 it was the last stop on president Warren Harding's funeral train. It was a canteen stop for soldiers during World War II. It had its last long distance train in 1971 with the end of the Chesapeake & Ohio's connector line to the George Washington.[4]

Into the 1960s it was a stop for several long distance passenger trains on the following railroads:[5][6][7][8]

MICX SW1500 #9551 was built 3-1972 as PC 9551
MICX 45, a GE 44-ton was built 1/44 as USA 8538
