I have one other small event to mention. Back in 1997 and 1998 we lived in a house about 400 feet from the tracks. I had heard from TRAINS magazine that NS and CSX were pursuing a merger with Conrail. Back then, I didn't know or completely understand all the details to this as I was only about 10 years old. <br />One day, I remember seeing Conrail's Officer Car Special train through here. I found that to be a very Odd occurance. I suppose they were inspecting the line here because of the upcoming merger. I did some research and found out that Conrail's Officer Car Special also traveled down south on the CSX to inspect their system before the merger. I suppose I was one of the few people who witnessed this, as most people have no recollection of this. <br /> <br />Just figured you all would want to know this. <br />
