NS OCS on RARE MILEAGE!

CRHS VP Brock Kerchner and I chased the NS OCS (NS train 956) from Harrisburg to Lancaster PA. The train was bound for the Strasburg RR and the RR Museum of PA. Although we chased it as far as Bird In Hand, PA, we were unable to finish the chase due to appointments for both of us. First, we shot him coming across Rockville Bridge:


Then we hustled up to the PennDOT building in Harrisburg to catch him on the Roy Branch (Next to the Amtrak Harrisburg Line)


We missed him at ROY interlocking due to traffic, but we got him again at Rohrersville Rd. near Lancaster on the Columbia Branch (RARE MILEAGE!)





Finally, we hauled it around Lancaster to get him at Bird-In-Hand, PA on the curves.


Wish we could have completed the run, but time was not on our side.
