Has CSX gone to a new naming pattern for freights?? I am in Florida and 604-20 came through instead of Q604. Thanks for any input.

604-20 is the q604 of the 20th. Sometimes crews will call out the date of the train as well as the symbol.

This is especially true when there may be more than one train of the same symbol in the area due to one running late. They do this to differentiate between them.
