G train might be grain and X trains are extras on CSX so the same maybe true for BNSF.
Where did you get all those symbols?
BNSF Train Symbols
A Amtrak
B baretable intermodal
C loaded unit coal
D light engines
E empty unit coal
F foreign RR trains over BNSF tracks
G loaded unit grain
H high priority manifest
I deadhead crew
J not used
K helper
L local service
M normal priority manifest
N hours of service relief crews
O officer specials
P premium intermodal
Q guaranteed intermodal
R road switcher
S double stack intermodal
T transfers
U unit other than coal and grain
V auto trains
W work trains
X empty unit grain
Y yard engines
Z high priority intermodal
Hope this helps.

Swafford, I have a list that says “J” = high / wide dimensional loads. I’m not sure if this is current, but why waste a letter of the alphabet?[swg]
Peterson, did you want to know about the other six letters? The first 3 are city of origin, the second 3 destination. I have what I thought was a fairly complete list of cities served by BNSF, but there are a lot in your list of grain trains that aren’t on my list. The list I have is 15 pages long (single column).
RGT = Rivergate
KAL = Kalama
PAS = Pasco
INB = Interbay
TAC = Tacoma
LVJ = Longview Jct.
VAW = Vancouver, WA
LIN = Lincoln
ABE = Aberdeen, SD
OMA = Omaha
GRF = Great Falls
HUR = Huron, SD (DM&E)
JAM = Jamestown
WOL = Wolsey, SD (DM&E)
DIL = Dilworth
ALN = Alliance, NE
ALT = Alliance, TX
BIL = Billings
MAN = Mandan
HRL = Hurley (?)
GAL = Galveston Correction, Galesburg
Actually GAL is Galesburg, IL. Galveston, TX is GAT. There are still over 30 cities in that list of trains that I don’t know.
G is grain train full and X is empty…
I got this from the editor of Westernrailroads web page…
Sorry I should have done my homework more
