Well since I have not gone real train watching, (Railfanning) for a few hours trackside since mid March, this afternoon I decided to change my location instead of Madison / Unionville Ohio, I went more west to Mentor OH. And all what's in the photos is what I saw this afternoon. Lots of Train Action. Plus some of the trains were very very neat to see. CP Heritage Unit, CSX Thomas Rice Special AC4400CW, CP GE's & CN SD75I's!!

In one afternoon, that was a busy day! 
Tom, as a former supervisor of mine used to say, “Timing is everything.” Nice job catching the those trains!
Super, always interesting shots!
I'd say you had yourself a banner day of train watching. Interesting to note out of all that rolling stock I think I only saw one box car.. Thanks for posting.
How cool that you saw all of that different road power. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you to who all replied!!! Yes it was a very busy afternoon!! NS & CSX put on a great show. Good amount of foreign power!!!
As to about the boxcar, here is the video of the monster NS freight 316 I saw yesterday. Lots of variety of freight cars.
Plus the video below of the CP Heritage.

Yes the boxcar was the multipurpose car in days gone by. Now you don't see many of them.
Great day of viewing. Really liked seeing the Heritage Canadian Pacific engine. (I suppose these days if the CP still used that livery they'd have to go with block lettering because kids are no longer taught cursive writing, and can't read it!) Thanks for posting the action.
