Eastern Railroad Discussion > Q009-24

HI  Folks its been  reportted on   Facebook that the  Q009-24  haves for power out of  N.J tonight the  CREX  1518-1525 ES44ACs  for  Power.  Just thought I would give a heads up.  It might be the same  power that the Q010  had on  the 22nd.   I seen them  on the  Q710  on  Tuesday.

Jim, thanks for the heads up on this one. I believe there also running elephant style to. They came in on a Q274 a few days ago. 

That is the stupidist train symbol system ever conceived. Unless you have a score card.  You

have no idea what the train is, where it originated or where its end destination is. Also what

day of the month is began its journey. The poster also makes no reference as to where this

was observed. Sounds like two friends talking on the phone.

No, this train starts in New Jersey and goes to Chicago. It's CSX Westbound Intermodal Q009. It generally reaches Ohio before 5PM most or all the time. Also, I'm not talking to him like a phone, I just wanted to point out to keep a heads up.

The full symbol is Q009-24... So far as origin/destination, it's not much different than it was years ago... As mentioned before it was once Q109... Pretty certain for Conrail it was TV-99, and it was Erie Lackawanna NY-99 before that...

What makes this symbol stupid compared to any other railroads ? If you don't have a list of symbols, any train on any railroad could be considered stupid using your logic.
