Possible OCS on NS in Milan (MI) mid-day today?

Unread post by fmilhaupt »

I was told second-hand yesterday that folks at a restaurant in Milan were expecting to handle some additional business from an OCS train coming through Milan around lunchtime today.

Has anybody in a position to say heard anything to confirm or refute the OCS movement?

The last report of it being seen was on 5/28/2016, in Altoona, PA, according to Heritage Units. https://heritageunits.com/Locomotive/Detail/NS4270

I'm sure people will report it on there if they see it head that direction.

The only one out there that possibly made any sense to me would be the Iowa Interstate OCS consist reported in Peru, IN a couple of days ago.

Just saw a post on Facebook, apperently speeders are riding the AA today, heading form Toledo to Pittsfield and returning. Likely going to stop for lunch at Milan

Now that makes more sense for a Sunday afternoon.

I wonder just how well a speeder handles an OWLS crossing...
