I don’t have any firsthand knowledge but it is the right time of year for the move so I assume your idea is correct.

At first I thought maybe the J was on the point with the smokey lead unit.

Master's golf is in April sometime??

19 business cars on this train, but they can't seem to find crews for their freight trains.............

Turning them into temporary camp cars for displaced residents of E. Palestine?

Easter weekend

Is the second car "Sandy Creek"?  Is that ex-New York Central?  Don't recall ever seeing that before in an OCS consist.

Would it make you feel better if there were less cars on this train?

The crew that brought down the OCS on the NS Lurgan got taxied back to pick up a tied down 11Z.......

That is RPCX 800321, originally an NYC car, which is owned by former NS CEO Wick Morman.

I noticed that as well - if only we could bring back Wick...  it could happen :-)

You're welcome - I was actually kind of on the fence about going out for it (no more F-units, rainy weather, getting dark late in the day), but figured why not.  I originally went to Cedarville for it but then heard it was meeting 274 at Berryville and 274 wasn't moving at the time due to a PTC issue so I figured I'd go up to Berryville before it got much darker.

They put the observation car in the wrong spot though, nice looking train anyway!
