Will the NS OCS be taking VIPs to the Masters this year? If so, does anyone have any details?

Once they move the HQ to Atlanta and they start PSR they'll probably be chartering a bus to Augusta...

FWIW, the F units are in the process of being renumbered...

They don’t travel in the OCS they use it on site to entertain and meetings. Most years it’s a deadhead move both ways

Maintaining and renumbering 4 special locomotives just for a VIP train that isn't going to be hauling VIPs?   So they've already gone to the chartered bus?

What about a trip to the Kentucky Derby? If I recall the OCS usually heads west from Altoona the weekend before the derby if it goes at all.

Take a look at Flightaware.com or Flightradar24.com at AGS on the Monday after the Masters... between 50 and 100 private jet departures. In the good old days Delta ran special 767 flights ATL-AGS and AGS-ATL for the Masters -- not charters, just extra flights available to the public -- although now they just substitute some 757s for aircraft regularly assigned to ATL-AGS-ATL.

NS hasn't ran to the Derby in a few years.
