Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS OCS to Kentucky Derby??

I had started a thread last week to see if anyone knew if/when NS would send their OCS to the derby but there wasn't any firm info.

The Schlegel boys are on the west slope through tomorrow morning and would appreciate any info.

Thanks!

That's about the same time as westbound Amtrak, it'd be cool to catch them side by side somewhere.

20.43, how was the light at that point of the day?  Enough for a picture, or just an opportunity to enjoy the sound?

I took some video with my phone, but it's not worth posting due to how dark it was. We pretty much enjoyed the sound and seeing the lighted interiors of the coaches.
