Fogg, MEC343 thanks much. Added and updated. CP/CSX connections are nice to have. Thanks for that!
John, I believe the formal symbol is MOBO/BOMO, even though LCT/ECT are used.

Dunno if it's a one-shot deal or not, but a WB IM holding at 335 told a passing 22K at 0735/03-12-2014 that it was I3K (letter India, not numeral 1) and not 23K.

I just realized I gave the wrong description of PO-4. It should have read: PO-4: Rigby switcher Saturday-Wednesday, relief job for PO-3 and PO-5.

At some point along the way, that setting was changed in the site software. People used to be able to edit their posts for a much longer period of time. I can't remember exactly why it was changed, although I think it may have been a result of some people who had a habit of saying bad things and then trying to cover their tracks.

The only issue is that a lot of the trains you have listed daily aren't necessarily daily... but rather they take so long to move that you may hear the same train over a few days... An example is the Bucksport jobs.
Also, a lot of extra and relief jobs operate with whatever symbol they can think of...

Any other specifics?

atholrail wrote:As of last summer there was a PO7 as well. 3rd trick switcher...Yes PO-7 is still there. They switch in Rigby for 2 nights and do local work the other 3. I don't remember which days they do what. There is a PO-8 as well. Early morning switcher, Monday-Friday.
I'm not sure if it changed, but Bow coal trains were HNB, withe a number corresponding to how many ran so far in the period of time, likely for the year.
