Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS Chicago intermodal trains

Does anyone know the symbols for NS intermodals coming too or out of Chicago that carry a lot  of trailers on spine cars? Not being from this part of the country, I assume they are going to Atlanta?

Not necessarily...

21M: Croxton, NJ to Chicago.
22W: Chicago to Rutherford, PA.
20E: Chicago to Croxton, NJ.

Keep in mind that spine cars are starting to age and RRs are pushing more and more for stacks over trailers.

205/206 between Chicago and Buffalo carry a # of UPS trailers on flats.

Spine cars are aging out, because of age and being a pain to load trailers on them. In Hamler Ohio on the CSX, there are a couple of strings of the cars sitting on yard tracks for over a year waiting on the lease to run out  so TTX can send them to scrap, at least that is what I have been told.

21E too.
