the NS Business train has always been here for the Masters it has about 17 or 20 coaches and 1 box car that has the Horse head logo on it last year they had a IC 100 with 3 coaches that did not come here the CSX Business train is now on there way to CSX’s Harrison Yard they have CSX 9993 and 9992 with 12 coaches, they should be leaving Monday after the Masters.

Note: If you go to Taylor Street where the NS train parks make sure you move around and make sure somebody sees you are else then they might call the cops on you. Trust me it happened to me but now they know who I am. If you want to get pictures up close be sure to ask somebody that is around there is a guy in a in a portable ask that guy.If that dose not work then say you know the guy and his grandson in the white van that might work

Hey cool. I may be able to make it over there in the morning. I guess it depends on how bad traffic is over there.

Hey thanks. It has been a while since I was in Augusta. Could you tell me where the NS train is located? I know that it is near Taylor street, but what else is near by? Also, is their anything else going on over there that I may want to check out? Do you think I have a chance of catching any street running while I’m there?

Thanks!
