Norfolk Southern Train Symbols pre-1988

[kbaker329]

Hello, I'm looking for a list of NS train symbols prior to 1988 when they still used letters with numbers.  I've looked all over the internet and can only find data after '88.  My grandfather worked for the Wabash/N&W/NS out of Moberly, MO and I can remember him being called for TC-3, TC-4, etc.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

That is all I have.

Not so fond memories of Moberly, having played against Charlie Spoonhour's Moberly Juco basketball team.  The gym was a barn with about 10 rows of bleachers all the way around the court, packed with rabid fans and a loud band.  One couldnt hear or think.  One seldom left victorious.
