Re: NS OCS 9/1/10
Could make for a nocturnal Ohio appearance. From what I've seen though it does take this train quite awhile to make it point to point, so perhaps a really early am appearance. Who's up for an all-nighter on a work night?

Re: NS OCS 9/1/10
I caught it down at Pitcairn, sounds like it will be staying at Conway tonight but also heard there was a cab called for 19:15 so not sure what it will do when it gets to Conway.

So it will be staying in Conway for the night?

I'm rather curious myself as to "where is it" right now...nssd70m-2 wrote:So it will be staying in Conway for the night?
Kind of assuming the most likely case is that it overnighted in Conway and will continue westbound today but that's a guess at this point.

Re: NS OCS 9/1/10
Michael I'm sure you saw it, but to put on here, a guy on trainorders said it would arrive Mingo Jct. today at 1pm, then up to Alliance and Cleveland. Boy oh boy. For the OCS 1pm translates to like 2pm.MDH wrote:I'm rather curious myself as to "where is it" right now...nssd70m-2 wrote:So it will be staying in Conway for the night?

Re: NS OCS 9/1/10
Yeah - just saw it - thanks for updating here. That could translate into early evening into Toledo perhaps. Guess we'll see!bdconrail29 wrote: Michael I'm sure you saw it, but to put on here, a guy on trainorders said it would arrive Mingo Jct. today at 1pm, then up to Alliance and Cleveland. Boy oh boy.

Re: NS OCS 9/1/10

Re: NS OCS 9/1/10
I'd say sooner than that! Already reported into Hudson, OH around 1:15PM... Probably into Toledo around 5 give or take PM unless they take a long stop in Cleveland.ConrailForever wrote:So figure maybe Cleveland around 4:00pm or so?

Re: NS OCS 9/1/10
You're not as sick as I am. Me and another guy were going to railfan the Chicago Line either today or tomorrow. We picked tomorrow. What a poor choice.

Re: NS OCS 9/1/10
I'd heard originally it may 'overnight' in Toledo, so you could always go west of Toledo tomorrow AM... (although you'd want to check here tonight to see if it really stops in T-town or goes all the way to Elkhart)bdconrail29 wrote:You're not as sick as I am.

Re: NS OCS 9/1/10
Thanks Michael! And yeah, looks like we can go west of Toledo if in fact it does wait there.
