NS's OCS just pulled westbound past Cresson at 10:22 EDT -- All four F units and I think 11 cars. It had stopped or slowed at CP MO and was not doing track speed.

12 cars. Went up 1 track at CP AR. Due to trackwork from MO to MG. A couple of people got good photos.

I’m going to be in Altoona this weekend and Pittsburgh next week. What are my chances of seeing the OCS? I have never photographed it?

It should be back in town from its current voyage by then, but with a better-than-even chance it'll be at Juniata shop, where you may or may not be able to see it without clutter.

Try 8th Ave....

Also, there is a street that runs right by the turntable. Take pics thru the fence....

Does anyone know if it is supposed to come back east on Friday thru Ohio/PA?    Might take an off day from work with the nice weather that day.

The Crew is on Duty at 4AM ET Thursday Morning. The train will be loaded. But who knows if the passengers will actually be on the train until 6AM or so.
