I didn't know there was such a site. Do you have a link?

I advise that if you have a smartphone you install the relevant version of their mobile app, which you can do from the above page, and set up an account with them.

I also have noticed that some reports for PA show up on the map near Toronto.

The CSX symbol for a passenger train would be P089 in this case.  All trains running on CSX get a CSX symbol.   The site is merely correcting your entry with the appropriate information.

I don't know how other railroads handle Amtrak trains, symbol-wise.

Heritage Units reporting problems?
Posted by Benchedthatpiece on Sunday, January 6, 2019 9:09 PM

Hi everyone, it seems like everytime I try to report a heritage unit to the heritage unit site either on my desktop or the app, something goes wrong. Just yesterday I reported AMTK 156 on train P089. After posting it I checked my post and it said CSX P089? I never typed the CSX in to start with. It seems like everytime I try and report a locomotive something like this happens and I'm about to give up on it. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Thanks!
