Just saying that the response was directly from NS. Not rumors ... take it like you want.

Direct from NS on Facebook, eh? I'll go with what I was told in person by an employee.

Would I love to see a heritage unit this Saturday ...yeah. But still going with corporate posting over what an employee in the field might say. I do hope you're right though Y@.

Well I am up for some speculation. NS 8102 was reported on the Yahoo group as "should be in Conway". We know 8102 is due at CHI for National Train Day on May12th. Toledo is between Conway and Chicago. Hmmm. :wink:

Would be nice if Mike and my posts on their Facebook got to the people who needed to make a decision like that.

NS 8102 is bound TRAILING to Elkhart on 11K. So unless they set off the power, in Toledo, it will be thru this afternoon/evening going to Elkhart.

Yea, NS 5337 showed up. The Anniversary train was good. Lots of people, wish Detroit would get in the game and do something like this.

It was nice. Like James said alot of people showed up. It wasn't too fun when the fire alarm shut off and they evacuated the building tho.
