Spent wednesday night at the park in Deshler and the depot in Fostoria. The following is what I saw. Sorry..no train symbols. I think I'm missing a CSX road channel in my scanner.. Listed first is what track, then power, then what type of train

This train came back north and went around SE wye.

Sounds like you had a good time, Mike. Also, a great day for it. I was thinking about trains for a good deal of the two and a half hours I sat in a classroom learning 'General Safety'. Wish I could have been there. I'll join you soon.
