Just saw a intresting sight on the Ranoke railcam the Norfolk Southern Executive Train. It was made up A-B-B-A Units. This is the first time I've seen this thing :D and there were quite afew normal NS trains moving about at the same time as the Locos for this train went past. At the of posting the last few coaches could still be seen on the cam.

It looks like owners of private passenger cars. They have spacial trains made up of a number of cars
They usually stop and tie up for the night. I see them on the web-cam. !!*ok*!!

NS runs an executive train to Augusta, GA, every year for The Masters. They put the train on a downtown siding and shuttle the execs to the course. Security is "TIGHT!"
