Where did Masters OCS Trains Park in Augusta
Author: Tominde

The yards aren't exactly in the nice part of Augusta.  I don't recall rails near Augusta National.  So if you use the trains to wine and dine the Big Cheese how do the transport them to the train?  Somehow I don't think the call a crew van.

The NS and BNSF trains were parked in the bulk transfer yard thats just off Taylor Street right where the CSX and NS jointly run between Central Jct. and 6th Street.

The CSX train sits in the siding at the former Harrisonville Yard area just off Wrightsboro Road on the former Georgia Road.

They don't use crew vans for guests. Limousines are hired. This is what Union Pacific used for the Republican national convention in Saint Paul.

The CSX OCS was parked on Jordan Road at the CSX Harrisonville Yard. It arrived on Wednesday 9 April. I will attempt to upload cell phone video and/or photos.

That NS facillity was built for the Masters Trains. It has 480 shore power. Plus spots to hook drain hoses to.  Transload is just a secondary use

Does UP OCS ever show up?  If so, where would they park?

UP has never came to Augusta as far I remember. I do remember that CN brought down the Illinois Central train in the early 2000s.
