What does OE and TU stand for. I thought TU was Tucson.

I'm not going to get into this again about the train symbol, EO has been a Eastport abbreviation for a location for some time, TU, it's the first time I've seen that used..

your original post has the symbol as O OE TU - 21

shortlineboss was correct in asking what is this unless OE and EO both mean Eastport....

The UP computer system has a habit of assigning random origin and destination codes that sometimes makes sense, sometimes not. UP needs to revamp the whole thing.

I started watching for this oil train on Saturday the 19th. Watched every train since then, and No oil train yet at Vay, Idaho on the UP/ SI. 09:52 Dec. 21, 2014. Had an empty head North though.
