OK, I’ll bite:

And your point is???

I am trying to put together a freight train schedule and would like some help here as to what is accurate or not.
This is a work in progress

4

Interesting. I would have thought that the Hobo du Jour would not need help. Planning some new travels?

5

Not trying to ba a ***, but, there are alot of things that don’t jive. One example H CSXPAS1??? Goes from St Louis to Murray Yard to Neff Yard to Argentine. Why would it go that route? They don’t run transfers from Murray to Neff to Argentine. If the train terminated in Argt, it would be a H XXXKCK1-???. You have a M train listed as a local. A local symbol would look like this…L XXX####-##X. Remember, the 9/10th charachter is the date. They don’t run that stuff on much of a schedule. If they did, I would know when I’m going to work and wouldn’t be sitting here on this computer waiting to be called.

Do I need my Captain America secret decoder ring to decipher this?

7

No, but a big Kona Gold bomber might help!

It would be interesting to see what the originator of this thread will do when he happens to make the acquaintance of a rather humorless Special Agent, gets jolted by a bad slack run, or runs into Ed’s switching crew.

Sorry Ed, I 'm not meaning to put a curse on you.[#oops]

Bring him on!
Its been a boring summer!

Don’t be silly. The feds may be disciplined, but they 're not nearly disciplined enough to read through the initial post and try to make sense of it.

Some of you brighter types ought to sign on as consultant to the Federales. Work the system from within??

11

Where is the shackle boxcar unit train on the list?

12

All that I know is that the H POOPOO1-24A comes by milepost 745.0 at 21:00 every day. I have the master schedule in my pocket. Everybody knows that all railroads run all trains on a schedule. Maybe some day I will put my expertise to good use and take the time to type 5 pages of trains and all of their schedules and what I don’t know, I’ll just make up…OOPS! Somebody allready did that on this very thread…
