CR E8A 4020 - Conrail "OCS" - Office Car Special |
| Description: |
Heading through Canton, OH, is the Presidental inspection train known to the CR dispatchers as "OCS" - Office Car Special. It served many roles in the Conrail system and had a variety of configurations with cars added or dropped and second locos added when necessary. Conrail conductor Ken Taylor took this action shot from the front of his opposing train. The date was based on the slide stamp so may not be accurate. |

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 |
| 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. |

| Description: |
A couple of riders on the rear platform watch the trains progress through East Glass. Hell be waving goodbye as the train gets up to speed for a quick ride east. Jack Kithcart was running, and he must have thought he had the Lake Cities. We never caught up to him. |
