Symbols for CSX trains
Here is a far from complete list of CSX train symbols and their origin/
destination. If you have any corrections, suggestions, or additions, please
email me (some info from The Bull Sheet)
(Note: CSX may be resymboling some trains, specifically non-autorack trains in
the 200 series, and autorack trains not already in the 200 series. Afterwards,
all autorack trains will carry Q200 series train numbers) Trains are assumed to
be daily, unless otherwise noted.
