Conrail OCS-203 Leaves The Buffalo Stock Yards on July 23, 1998

Conrail Office Train OCS-203 backing out of the Stock Yards at Buffalo Central Terminal at 7:00 AM sharp, July 23, 1998 with ex-EL E8 4022 ahead of ex-PC/PRR E8 4021. It was an awful drizzly morning, but it was one of the last OCS trains to go through Buffalo before the CSX/NS CR split. I also caught the eastbound runby at the site of the old Erie Niagara Falls Branch overpass about a mile east of here. Four days later it returned as OCS-102 on Monday and left again as OCS-301 on Tuesday. I have video of those trains as well.

They were split up between NS and CSX ten years ago. Some have visited Buffalo since then, but any still in use by NS and CSX have been repainted.
