Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS 6920 leading 255

A friend just reported that the Veteran's unit is leading NS 255, a Detroit - Kansas City roadrailer that works Fort Wayne before running via the Wabash west out of town. Train was departing Fort Wayne less than an hour ago.

A post of NS train symbols here on TO by "florida581" lists 255 as being the train that turns into the BNSF Q KCKSAG in KC but I've seen other posts saying this train terminates at Voltz. Anyone know which one is which?

It terminates at Voltz/Kansas City. 267 is the one that turns into the BNSF Q-KCKSAG at Argentine Yard in Kansas City (some days at least, other days it just terminates in Mitchell, IL's Triple Crown facility).

Just a heads up, 255 is now on the move out of Decatur. Heads up Springfield, IL area and points west.

I was unaware that 267 extended to KC on some days. I was under the notion that 255 was the only westbound roadrailer to KC...hence why I was under the assumption why it became the KCKSAG. Be cafeful when you assume, huh? :) Thanks for pointing that out Lewis. I'll make note of that on the NS symbol list.

I can confirm that 255 terminates at Voltz/Kansas City and that 267 is the
BNSF train I have seen 255 go to the BNSF one time but that was on a weekend
Sunday night.
260 is the Voltz train eastbound and 240 is the eastbound train from the BNSF I have
also seen a 248 symbol used on Saturday before.
