[quote user="A&Y"] Two or three reasons possible. There used to be a KRLX reporting mark for Kingan Meat company. Maybe KRLX was taken by them when Kasgro Rail started.  In addition, there is another KRLX these days, Keystone Railcar Inc (<a href="http://rrpicturearchives.net/srchThumbs.aspx?srch=KRLX&search=Search">http://rrpicturearchives.net/srchThumbs.aspx?srch=KRLX&search=Search</a>) who might have also started before Kasgro.  If Kasgro Rail is a common carrier, that might explain it too.  I thought that X was used primarily for private car lines, not railroad carriers themselves.  CSX just used the idea when the Chessie and Seaboard couldn't agree on a single merger name, and used the C from Chessie and the S from Seaboard and the X for multiplication.  But usually, the X in the last digit of reporting marks is for a private car line, or at least a non-common carrier. <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote] As previously mentioned, KRL is a short line common carrier.  As for CSX, their reporting marks as assigned by the Association of American Railroads are listed here: <a href="https://www.csx.com/index.cfm/customers/resources/equipment/reporting-marks/">https://www.csx.com/index.cfm/customers/resources/equipment/reporting-marks/</a> CSXT is the only one with CSX in it.  CSX is a reporting mark for a separate private company.
