Does anyone have the symbols for the "real" trains that operate over marias pass.(Autos, Manifest, Grain, Coal, Intermodal, etc.)
When I make a activity I like to use real train symbols. All help is appreciated. The only on that I know of is the ZCHCPTL.

According to a video I have (BNSF on Marias Pass, made in 1997) the alpha system used by BNSF is as follows:
Z - Guaranteed Intermodal-UPS
Q - Expedited Intermodal
P - Premium Intermodial
S - Double Stack Train
V - Vehicles/auto parts
H - Primary Manifest
M - Regular Manifest
C - Unit Coal Train
G - Unit Grain Train
U - Other Unit TrainThe 2nd, 3rd, and 4th letters denote the place of origin. The 5th, 6th, and 7th letters denote place of termination. An "X" in front of the symbols denotes an empty train.Hope that helps.
