Ohio Rail Diamonds

DVD Format
This recent program was shot in 2006, and the concept was to see how much interesting footage we could shoot in one day, but at different locations where there are diamonds. We begin in Fostoria, Ohio, the move to Attica Junction, and return to the Depot at Fostoria where there is a different Diamond. After Fostoria we move west to Deshler, then south a few miles to Leipsic Junction. But, there is more footage than just this one day of shooting. More Details Here
