Where does CSX Train Q152 originate on the UP?

I'm pretty sure it's from Seattle.

Seattle?------ I just pulled up Q15217, Q15218, Q15219 and found no trains with that number. If it origantes out of Seattle why would it be a CSX train??

Is it the Blue Streak service? It would probably originate with a UP designation then receive it's CSX number when it enters CSX systems.

Ok---went back to May 1st-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15---and found no Q152 for those dates. Found a Q15216 with 5 UP engines and 6000 feet of train----it looks like it was introduced to the CSX system in Chicago--and the train went to Selkrk.

Q152 might be the RailEx produce train from Wallula WA to New York.

That's Q090/Q091.

Q152 is indeed a UP train that runs (through here at least) on Tuesdays, most likely called out of Chicago on Monday, with no real set time to run. Usually has UP power and a bunch of APL stacks. Goes to South Kearny, NJ, and I do believe it originates in Seattle.
