Does anyone know of any. I know Norfolk Southern runs one. It comes thru my area, does anyone know when it comes thru. I have to write a newspaper story about a Norfolk Southern crew, and I want to get a shot of the F units instead of the normal units. Not to mention just a shot for my own collection would be nice. Does Amtrak operate any specials, I know they do for the Kentucky Derby. But does anyone know when the Norfolk Southern train is supposed to be around. I heard it recrews here. But I don't think it goes to the yard, so does it do it by Union Station. Thank you

Oh Mr. 92; the "perks' are always there for those at the top.

Will 'El Tigre", accompanied by Elin, be aboard to give the 'ol duffers' a few pointers? Lest we forget, no more "five mile high activities' aboard Citations and Gulfstreams....as "she's a watchin''

Prediction; should there be a Green Jacket, all will be forgiven - media, sponsors, and UNOHOO.

I can assure you, Gil, that if "El Tigre" and the missus are aboard, he'll be traveling coach while she gets the bedroom.

No Green Jacket either; even Tiger can't play through some of this stuff.

amtrak92, why don't you go here and use the "contact us" link?

http://www.nscorp.com/nscportal/nscorp/

If you don't come across as too much of a "foamer", I'm sure they'll give you what information they have on the "Masters Train."

I tried that, when I was asking for my interview. They said they don't release that information anymore, due to heightened security. Which I understand, but I'm trying to get some shots for my story. So I'm trying to figure out what day it might be, so I can go to my favorite location, for some good shots. If you know when please tell. Thank you so much
