I just got off the phone with Chris, he said it's about an hour west of Conway, PA as of 12pm. Consist is ABB set. Mike, are you planning on coming up into town to meet up with any of the other railfans in town today? I'm hoping to get up there about 5 or so tonight to wait for the OCS.

At 7:55pm Saturday night the ABBA + 10 cars went west through Waterloo, Indiana. According to a reliable source that same consist will be heading east on late Tuesday morning. Here is my rendition of the ABBA set with a digital camera w/ auto focus @ 65+ mph.

Great pict, Michael. Almost as good as Winston Link.

(I know you can't expect too much in the dark without a lot of lights, but it doesn't hurt to try.)

Well this is my first post here, and I figured this is how I would start off. Caught OCS 956 yesterday in Chesterton, IN at 2:30pm headed east on the NS Chicago Line.

Larry,

Welcome to the site and quite a nice picture to boot. I thought the OCS wasn't departing Chicago until today, any idea what happened there?

The NS special went EB @ 10:15am today by CR63. I was heading that way but I couldnt get to the tracks before he sped by.

Greg,

I had no idea it was in the area so I was taken by surprise which was ok because I had been sitting there having only caught 2 trains over a 3 and 1/2 hour period. About 45 minutes before it came I heard talk about it headed my way so I was ready for it.

I heard there was supposed to be a WB OCS to Chi town on Wdnesday. Here it is WB in Waterloo @ 12:50pm on 10/15/08
