Well, lets start with the basics...

Z-High prioruty intermodal

LAC-Los Angeles

NYC - New York (although it probably goes to Newark)

9 - highest priorty, usually UPS & other LTL shippers

Runs on the Transcon,,, I believe it makes a setout and pickup at Willow Springs, IL

This train is probably a decendant of the old 891. one of the 4 hottest freights on the Santa Fe along with 991,199 and 198.

If this run is high priority to New York, would it possibly be turned over direct to NS at Streator?
