NS OCS Chase, MD

On 9-1-2010 NS ran the first OCS out of Baltimore that I recall. Passengers were loaded at Bayview Yard adjacent to the NEC. By 0845 the train made it as far as Chase, MD running under a 30 MPH slow order. Just ahead is the Gunpow interlocking, site of the infamous Ricky Gates accident. The train was headed to Chicago by way of the Port Road and Pittsburgh Line.
