In case anyone was interested, the NS will be running an OCS over the Chicago Line tomorrow. From what I've seen elsewhere, it is expected to arrive in Rockport Yard in Cleveland in the early afternoon (1:00 or so according to reports elsewhere).

Little bit of an update. The OCS should be through Toledo between 4:30 and 5:30 PM for those interested in catching it in the Glass City.

Happy hunting!

One more update. As per reports elsewhere, the OCS will be laying over in Toledo at Union Station for the night. Will leave Toledo for Chicago in the morning.

Train departs Toledo tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM. I managed to catch it in Millbury and then again at CUT in downtown Toledo this afternoon.

Sure are beauties!

Here is a quick video of it passing through Millbury. Nothing fancy, just video recording while I was taking still photos on another camera. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzcRyUokFxw

It was through Delta before 0730, so apparently the departure time from Toledo was just a guesstimate.

The 8:00 departure time is the last I heard before I left the station. That word came from an NS employee who was there. So I was just posting the last time I had heard.

Very cool photo! :-D Wonder what some of the folks on the Capitol were thinking when they pulled up besides that train.
