Fostoria is a city of 13,000 people (2020) in Northwest Ohio. In the 1880s, Fostoria was an industrial town that specialized in glass and early automobiles. While the industry is mostly gone, the railroads that powered its industry still cut across the city, making it a good place for trainspotting.
