Crew symbols (rarely paid attention to) are 7-character codes beginning with the train symbol. The 4th character seems to always be a letter which probably has some geographical significance, and the remaining characters appear to be assigned sequentially within some predefined range to each crew on the train.
Crews deadheading from one terminal to another get symbols with the "train" portion usually in the range 470-489. If you hear such a train symbol on the radio, it's probably actually a crew in a road cab.
Caution on the even/odd rule in Ohio: on the Columbus and Sandusky districts, east is south and west is north. So geographically, even symbols are heading south and odd symbols head north.

I know at least 6 ways to get there. Do you have a preference?
