Eclipse Train?

Unread post by NoviRailfan »

I haven't seen any reports of this but I was told that there was a short train consisting of a CSX unit and 2 passenger cars spotted zipping down the CSX main parallel to US-24 (Telegraph Rd) southbound towards the zone of totality just minutes before the total eclipse was to reach the Toledo area. Anyone have any info on this special?
