CSX Business train with 5 cars though Fostoria,Ohio, westbound at 2:05 P M. TODAY, 5/17/2011
It Might be on inspection tour of North Baltimore Yard, North Baltimore, Ohio

Is that why a train looking like Q110 was stopped at W Deshler? Wish I had all the facts...

CSX got a portable pressure washer at SR-235 at Hoytville, OH to clean up the train before it goes by?

Oh Yea, is the CSXT 8888 still at Indy. It missed it's chance for a 10 year anniversary run considering an OCS is in NW Ohio...

From what I heard, look for it to come back north to Walbridge later this afternoon and then deadhead down to Cincy after that (perhaps via Bates & down the Toledo Sub).

Of course since there's a CSX OCS around the weather is completely wretched...

train has csx executive's and shareholders on it. it's was open to any share holder who requested too go. and of course they'll tour NB yard head back to detroit.

Though it was billed as Detroit-NB I can vouch for it being a truncated run of Walbridge yard to NB based on local observation reported to me. It never went further north than that and will (supposedly) be heading right back south after unloading passengers in Walbridge.

they may have changed it?, i know earlier in the year when it was posted on the csx.com it was scheduled det-nb-det.

It didn't run out of Detroit this morning -- it originated at Walbridge. Maybe they ran a feeder bus.

Bustitution? NS probably gave fair warning of NO guarantee of getting across at Vickers... Heck I could see NS holding it's stack trains up and fleeting them across the diamonds, just as the OCS stops at the diamonds. Not a good thing to show investors how things sometimes move for CSX there... ;-) My twisted humor again.

OCS - Official Clown Special? My funny bone is acting up today...

Correct. I believe it will become P915 upon leaving Walbridge for Cincinnati and Jacksonville.

MDH says it just went through Pemberville northbound at about 17:45.

Arrived Lima at 9:30pm with a crew called for 11:40 to head south to Cincinnati, Corbin, Atlanta and Jacksonville.
