Conrail's
OCS will be taking an East Coast whirlwind tour over the next two weeks.
The trip departs Altoona, PA next Tuesday April 14 for Philadelphia.
Departure from Philadelphia on Thursday April 16 will see the train operated
to interchange with CSXT at Baltimore, then CSXT to West Palm Beach, FL.
We are waiting on the CSXT version of the schedule before posting those
operations. The train returns to Conrail on April 19 and continues
on a huge circle trip via Selkirk and Buffalo, NY. Click

GEOMETRY
TRAIN CHANGES
As soon as we put up the
dates of work for Conrail's Geometry Train, they changed some of their
testing. Apparently some additional testing was necessary on the
Chicago Line which has delayed the train almost a full day. The schedule
we posted on April 5 has been changed to reflect this:

Norfolk Southern, these units have spent quite a bit of time being leased-out
to other roads. Recently, many have turned back up on Conrail and
