I am not sure if there is a system wide practice for train numbers. I can tell you that on the Lehigh and Reading lines, the 100 and 200 series seem to correspond with what you have in your area. Locals, are numbered however beginning with an "H" (H90, H65, H71, H78, etc). For the most part, even numbered trains are East bounds, and odd numbered are west bounds. We have a few unit coal trains that are in the 500 series (545, 546) and a few manifest freights in the 400 series(49A, 48A, etc.). Manifest freights also are in the 100 series (19G). We also have some D&H trains, which are numbered D&H 265, 266, 411, and 412 (I believe that is it, anyone know of any others?).
