You are correct in the routing. Loaded Portland coal trins are symbol 508 and empties are 509 . Generally anywhere from 80-130 cars. NS accesses ConAgra from a spur off Martins Creek Yard. They service ConAgra almost daily, averaging about 80 covered hoppers and a few boxcars a week.

It always sits out in the open and can be seen from the parking lot. :D
