Passenger Trains > NS OCS Train Heading West by The Station Inn

just passed west at 9:50........
 

Could you  please--please be more specific about the location you are talking about ???
These days too many folks forget that this is the world wide web , 
The What,--Where--When--and why is far from obvious for many folks like me.
Thank you in advance for helping the rest of us to understand the meaning of your report.

When I saw the subject I thought

NS = Norfolk Southern ?

OCS = Officer Candadate School ?

The Station Inn = Some hotel or restaurant somewhere along a railroad somewhere in the English speaking world ?

Didn't make much sense to me.

Everyone here should know what NS and OCS is. If not then now you know.

The Station Inn is a railfan friendly hotel in Cresson, PA with a nice view of the NS main line.

Actually - no one has clarified that yet, but agree - that's
pretty basic!

NS = Norfolk Southern
OCS = Office Car Special

Now that that is out of the way = how about notifications
BEFORE instead, just went bys!  Can't blame anyone
if they've been sworn to secrecacy or if they simply happened
to know nothing other that - hey, look what just went by, but
sure miss the days of getting those great heads up to plan by.

Not that I was about to take the day off and head over to Harrisburg,
but some might have - and some might be further down the as of
yet unstated route.

FYI, "OCS" came about in Conrail days.

Some of these abbreviations probably have Canadians confused too!
