On the TN Division line between Knoxville,TN and Chattanooga,TN most trains are reffered to by the dispatchers by engine number. I think the line is TWC they are always issueing track warrants. About the only time that I hear the train numbers is when the crews are calling their signals on the radio. Out on the KY Division line from Danville,KY to Chattanooga it is CTC and they use the train numbers both crews and dispatchers. <br />The good thing about the track warrants is that if you know what is coming and from where and when it is going to stop. I catch the warrants on my scanner and then drive to a location and set up to shoot my pictures. Also if you got a good memory of the roster you know what is coming at you. <br />The S90 train that I saw was also a unit coal train. It was on the KY Division line. <br />BTW Tyler if you want to see the area I'm talking about check out Pentrex's video "The Rathole". It covers the second district of the KY Division. I watch all along the line in TN.
