Fostoria's Rich Railway Past

Photos courtesy Debbie Castret

Debbie Castret has graciously shared these family photos of Nickel Plate employees from 1947. Most were taken in or around Blair Yard. Her Dad Carl E Castret worked there from 1941 to 1974

A unique look into some of Fostoria's past and railroading history.

Many thanks Debbie for sharing them with us.
