Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS symbol help Altoona - Cresson Saturday

Spent a good part of Saturday afternoon shooting about 20 trains between Altoona and Cresson.  Many of the intermodal symbols were garbled (plus my hearing is starting to go!), and I was wondering if anyone on here might be able to help me out with the symbols:

EB - 2710 / 9913 / 8820
EB - 9220 / 9637
WB - 9720 / 9931 / 8953 (21J???)
EB - 9606 / 6514 (big train with helpers)
EB - 9922 / 9516
WB - 9134 / 9125 (23Z???)

A lot of those eastbound I see in Harrisburg late-afternoon / early-evening - 20K, 20W, 22W, 24W, 26T, but I couldn't make heads or tails out of the symbols on the scanner.

Thanks.

I can answer one of them for you...

the train with the 9606 and 6514 was 20Q , heading to Morrisville

Sorry, Can't help with the symbols. Didn't see or hear any of those trains on Saturday. We've been spoiled hanging around Harrisburg where the dispatchers usually come through nice and clear and talk to most of the trains! Unfortunately out of range of the dispatchers radio you hear crews who mumble, have lousey radios or "forget" to call signals!
