Hey lets expand this a bit to NS's entire system. I was thinking of posting a similar question for my area. I watch trains out on NS's Kentucky division line from the KY/TN state line to Chattanooga,TN that's the second and third districts. Also on the TN Division between Knoxville,TN and Chattanooga. I've been wondering if there is a system wide numbering system or are there variations between the divisions. The ones I do know are that 100's are mixed freight, 200's are intermodal, 700's are coal unit trains. Also the locals are tagged with a "K" or a "T" in front of a two digit train number ie: T41. If I'm not mistaken 900 series train numbers besignate special moves or MOW train. Some specific trains that I see are 112,111,275,276,251,252,708,131,T41. <br /> Those I catch on a fairly regular basis. <br />Can anybody add anything else what do you see in your area. I keep a note pad and write the numbers down along with the date after I take my pictures. <br /> <br />One other thing does anyone know what a "S" in front of a train number means. I saw a train the other day that had the number S90 it was south bound on the KY Division. It was loaded soal.
