Ohio flora and fauna Butterweed (Yellowtop, Cress-leaf Groundsel) - Packera glabella (syn. Senecio glabellus) This stuff was growing all over Ohio in moist fields. I had seen it previously in a floodplain forest in South Carolina--it has an odd distribution.

P001 - Dunkirk CSX #1 leads P001 southbound through Dunkirk on the Toledo Branch heading for Columbus. While I was interchanging cars with NS at Bible Rd in our West Yard, I heard P001 leaving north. By the time I got off of work, the train was just getting through Deshler. I jumped on I-75 and started north hoping to get North Baltimore. While I was massively wrong, some friends gave me the heads up that the train was running the branch, and suggested Dunkirk. So after turning and burning, I was rewarded with my one (1) shot.
