It lists all CN train numbers their start and end points. For the U.S. affiliates as well-DMIR,BLE,IC,DWP,EJE etc etc. Theres also sub division listing and basic maps.

However, don't think much Canadian coal travels south to ex-IC lines into the southern US. I believe some coal trains originate on CN's Bluford Sub (Edgewood Cutoff in Southern Illinois)and run south. BNSF and UP also hand off coal and grain trains to the CN at Memphis for points south. A good amount of coal is exported out of Mobile, AL. Andrew Posted from iPhone Date: 09/01/14 14:20 Re: need cn (ex-ic) symbols Author: xcnsnake Alberta coal via CN:

I highly recommend getting the Canadian Trackside Guide as well. If you are American and are blocked by the term "Canadian" in the name, don't be. This guide has a lot of info for the North American Railfan and always did before the advancement of CP and CN acquisitions into the USA. I find the section on reporting marks extensive and this book will answer any questions on who is behind the reporting marks.
