CSX Symbol Help
Author: zchcsse

I saw some trains on my recent Ohio trip that I don't have origin/destination info for, and was wondering if you could fill in the blanks if you know. Most of these are unit trains, so they may be difficult, but I'll try anyways.

Q167 Seen at Fostoria
Q357 Seen at Berea
K235 BNSF-powered empty windmill train off the Columbus Sub turing westbound on the Willard Sub with BNSF power at Fostoria
K185 Empty CSX coal hoppers ebd.on Willard Sub to nbd. Columbus Sub at Fostoria
K475 Eastbound ethanol train seen at Deshler turning south towards Cincinnati. Had a UP engine.
N809 Seen at Marion
N824 Seen at Fostoria
N825 Seen at Fostoria
E949 Seen at Berea
G918 Seen southbound at Fostoria
G877 Seen at Fostoria turning from north to west
G852 Sbd. at Fostoria with all-new CSX covered hoppers

Thanks!

K185 is Toledo Docks to Middletown Ohio (loads south, empties north). Normally operates "via Bates" as in straight north & south at Deshler instead of Deshler/Fostoria/Toledo though.

Thanks everyone for your help!

I likely misheard the E949 symbol on the radio as it doesn't seem like that symbol would be anywhere near Berea.

Anyone have the N809? That would complete this list then.

Try this listing, it's not complete but a great start, system wide.
