Was anybody was in Berea today which is October 4th, 2008 because when I went today and the NS Office Car Special went by on the NS main. I recorded it with my camera which can’t be put on the internet because it dosen’t have usb port. The Special came through at 2:30PM. About 20 cars were in Berea today in the Railfan Parking Lot closest to the now Closed Station Restaurant. There was a truck there in the parking lot that was painted in dark blue saying Conrail Quality. If anybody has seen what talking about. The Special had all the cars and the 4 engines. The first was an F7. The other three were B-Units and the fourth was another F7. It was the coolest thing I have seen in Berea for along time. Please tell me if you seen the special go through today or anybody else that has video of it on the internet.
Here is a link: http://www.youtube.com/user/CSXno601 This is a Rich Thompson video entitled Norfolk Southern Around Bedford OH. It includes the NS OCS train along with considerable freight action. Rich does a pretty good job here.
I just saw that video 3 minutes ago. Dosen’t the special look awesome. When he past me he in Berea he tooted two toots. Nice engineer and did you see the train right after the OCS. It was an NS Dash 9 with a BNSF horn on it. The second unit was conrail. I saw that train and the train after that at Berea was the same one he caught with that SD70M-2. We were leaving when he came by through Berea. It was not a very busy day at Berea but it was awesome when the OCS came through. That made my day. I didn’t even know it was comin.
I saw the buissness special in continental on the nkp line awhile back.it is very nice.According to what I have read it is scheduled to come back on the waterlevel route on tuesday.
stay safe
