We moved north to the next crossing to wait on CSX B522 as it was on its way south from Deshler. It would be a while before finally seeing the green signal at North Wapakoneta. @RailfanNS would record it at North Street while I set up at Auglaize Street. It is a couple minutes and CSX B522 finally goes through Wapakoneta passing the Auglaize Street railroad crossing on the Toledo Sub.
This is a very nice pair of (I think) 1990s CSX installs which had the far signals gate replaced. Thankfully the Modern Industries mechanical bell is still here and it sounds healthy.
Consist:
CSX B522 (Daily slab loads) [Detroit, MI - Middletown, OH]
CSX 459 - GE CW44AC
CSX 5375 - GE ES40DC
