Carl, <br /> <br /> Honestly I can't remember the numbering of those cars. And, I can't believe I forgot about "X" being private cars and non "X" cars belonging to RR's. I knew better than that, but oh well. I have seen the following initials come out of the plant..... PGNX, BNSF, CAEG, and several others that I cannot recall at this time. <br /> The plant at Danville has been spewing out cars as fast as CSX will let them. The plant can produce about 25 cars per day, but what ends up happening is the plant is filled up with about three trains worth of new cars that can't go anywhere because there is no avialable power to take the new train to where it needs to go, usually north. Sometimes cars aren't pulled out of that plant for weeks. When power does show up I often wonder if it can even be used for road service.
