RE: (erielack) TRAIN YARD SYMBOLS

["Michael Connor" <mjconnor_rr_@_hotmail.com>]

Mike
I recall that we used (mid to late 1960's) one or two alpha codes.  Until I 
get to my archive I'll throw out a few I recall:
QD Binghamton
BY East Binghamton
RA Elmira
Q Corning
V Hornell Dispatcher
ZY Hornell
UK Salamanca
HF Meadville
PO Port Jervis
XD Youngstown
Many of these symbols were from their two-aplpa telegraphic code.  These 
codes would show up on teletype train consists, among other things, as 
address headers for the consist and detail for individual blocks if not cars 
    I don't recall using any three or more aplpha codes.
