Railfanning Deshler, Ohio, with a Drone

Crossroads Park in Deshler, Ohio, is one of the best places to watch trains in the Midwest! It is not uncommon for 50 or more trains to pass through this railroad interchange each day. In addition to the railpark, there is a Virtual Railfan webcam at this location. The Deshler Diamond is the intersection of two CSX mainlines. The busier east-west double-track line is part of the Willard Subdivision to the east of the diamond, and the Garrett Subdivision to the west of the diamond. The north-south single-track line is part of the Toledo Subdivision. This video was recorded on Friday, June 15, 2018. While both rail lines that cross in Deshler are part of the CSX Great Lakes Division, several types of foreign power can often be seen at the diamond. Foreign power seen in this video are Norfolk Southern, BNSF, Union Pacific, and Canadian Pacific. This video was recorded in 4K using a DJI Mavic Pro drone, and the audio was recorded separately at ground level using a GoPro HERO Session. For more great railroad drone videos be sure to subscribe!
