CR E8A 4020 - Conrail "OCS" - Office Car Special
Title:  CR E8A 4020 - Conrail "OCS" - Office Car Special
Description:  This is a beautiful misty morning action shot along the Beaver River of the Conrail "OCS" - Office Car Special - known to others as the CR President's trian, CR business train, CR sales/marketing train, or CR inspection train. The CR dispatchers used the generic "OCS" call for any of these. Conrail conductor Ken Taylor was able to catch it passing by. The date is based on the slide stamp which may not be accurate.

Got the board
Title:  Got the board
Description:  The Southern Tier picnic train has the board at East Glass and is about to take to the Tier and take off. Once clear of the plant, Jack Kithcart, Southern Tier GM was running. He notched it out and he was gone. I did not catch the train all the way back to Binghamton. Jack must have thought he was running the Erie Limited. Im told he ran 70 MPH to Binghamton.
