Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS Port Road Question

Good Evening:

What are the current symbols of trains that operate over the NS Port Road?

Thank you in advance.

Intermodals:

23W Baltimore, MD - Harrisburg, PA
24M Chicago 63rd, IL - Baltimore, MD

Manifests:

12G Conway, PA - Harrington, DE
13G Harrington, DE - Conway, PA
30A Enola, PA - Edgemoor, DE
31A Edgemoor, DE - Enola, PA
33A Baltimore, MD - Allentown, PA
34A Allentown, PA - Baltimore, MD

There are also various bulk commodity trains in the 400, 500, 600, and 800 series numbers.

Also the local freight H23 westbound between Columbia and CP Shocks on a
Tuesday and a Thursday morning. It normally returns east via Amtrak from Middletown, PA.

NS changed 30A and 31A back to 36A east and 37A west quite a while ago. Not sure if they originate/terminate at Enola or Conway. Eastbound crude oil trains (so far six this month) are 64N. This business has caused second sections of 37A, which I heard once called W7A. There is also a large local that runs between Enola and Lancaster often 90 cars, to feed all the industry around Lancaster. I forget the symbol, it is a turn job, but not sure from where. I'm sure someone else can fill that in. Realize if you visit it is still very much a nightime railroad with the eastbounds in the evening generally before midnight and the westbounds in early am. In the winter there may be no daylight trains, except for the small local mentioned.

Check the "Line/Subdivision" box and select "NS Port Road Branch" from the list.
