Special Visitor in Nevins Yard |
| Description: |
The CSX OCS has arrived from Jacksonville empty. The plan was to send the the train to Boston on Monday and then head to Chicago on Tuesday with Hunter Harrison and the rest of the crew. That plan was cancelled, however, due to to Harrison's health issues and the train deadheaded all the way back to Jacksonville! So much for Harrison's cost savings! |
