(erielack) Train symbols

["Tupaczewski, Paul R (Paul)" <paultup_@_lucent.com>]

Hi all,

At the ELHS meeting a lot of EL train symbols were given during many of the
slide presentations. I'd like to see if we can compile a list of known EL
train symbols here (Erie and DL&W will follow after this, of course!)...
This will help many with knowledge of operations, as well as identify what's
on a particular train and where it's coming from. Again, my west end
knowledge is limited, so West Enders, please fill in those blanks! :)

Some of the symbols were obvious ("BC-2" is Buffalo-Croxton), while others
were not ("TC-4" is "TransContinental"). And some trains didn't run during
the entire course of the EL.

Here are ones I can think of off the top of my head. I'll list them in this
order: Symbol, From/To, Traffic base, Years Run. If the symbol is blank, I
have no details

CS-9 / Croxton-Scranton / standard freight / 1961-1976?
SC-8 / Scranton-Croxton / standard freight / 1961-1976?
TC-4
HB-1 / Hoboken-Binghamton? / standard freight / ?
RI-100 / Chicago (RI connection)-Croxton / RI traffic / ?
MILW-100 / Chicago (MILW conn)-Croxton / MILW traffic / ?
NYCB / Huntington?-Croxton / N&W run-through from St. Louis / ?
SLCB / Croxton-Huntington? / N&W run-through from St. Louis / ?
PO-97
NE-97
NY-100 / Chicago-Croxton / primarily hot piggyback / ?-1976
2/NY-100 / Chicago-Croxton / primarily UPS piggyback / ?-1976
NY-99 / Croxton-Chicago / hotshot freight/pigs / ?-1976
NY-98 / Chicago-Croxton / ? / ?
