An April Surprise! The Norfolk Southern Office Car Special (02 April 2024)

Kicking off the Spring with a welcome departure from the usual April Fools jokes - a surprise visit by Norfolk Southern’s Office Car Special to Columbia, SC!
This special train was on its way to Augusta, GA for the annual Masters golf tournament. Led by Heritage Units 8099 (Southern Railway) and 1069 (Virginian Railway), the train made a wonderful sight passing through Columbia on its way West.
Prior to the special’s passing, we also see two other NS freights - including an appearance from another Heritage Unit (PRR 8102)!
Enjoy this short video and thanks for watching! #norfolksouthern #officecarspecial #specialtrain #railfanning #columbiasc #carolinas #diesellocomotives #heritageunits

I am out of town this week so I knew that I was going to miss this. Thank you for posting this, I especially like the closing shot. Great job as always.

Nice Catch, Christopher - a perfect setting, right in front of that historic building (not the beer joint!) And we got the numbers and names of each and every car, thanks so much to you. 🚂Lawrence

I gotta say, seeing 3 heritage units in one day is probably a new record LMAO
