Eastern Railroad Discussion > CSX Intermodal Question (old one)

During November & December, 1994 I videotaped CSX intermodal trains R131 and R132 at Hyattsville, Maryland going to and from the Alexandria Extension (to the RF&P Sub) and the Capital Sub to/from Baltimore area.  I can't find any reference of these trains on-line.  I suspect they may be Holiday extras for UPS.  Does anyone know the origin/destination of this pair?  Thanks in advance.

I'm gonna ask a friend of mine that might remember.
Plus I'm wondering if old online copies of The Bull Sheet would have that info

Thanks, I looked through the old Bull Sheets, but I'm missing a lot of them.

That was long enough ago that it might be hard to find original information.....in 1997 or 1998 they started using the Q code on more intermodal and manifest trains and rejiggered the R code to use for temporary reroutes.....someone who had worked those trains in those days might remember the routing used back then. As numbers relate to routes, that doesn't channge often, but it does change, so you can't be sure of anything that far back.

Thanks, the 131/132 designation is not used in that area.  I'm pretty sure they were Holiday UPS extras.  Probably Kearny to Jax, but I was trying to verify.
