(erielack) Train Symbol Part 2

["Paul Brezicki" <doctorpb_@_bellsouth.net>]

That's one of the neat things about model RRing, you can do whatever you
want and use whatever train identifier works for you. Freight train symbols
is a rather large topic which I won't delve into here, but EL's rather
chaotic symboling "system" did include some alphanumerics with yard call
letters  from time to time. Some examples:

HF-98  Meadville
N-98    Huntington
SJ-98  Lima
XC-91 Maybrook
RN-91 Marion
BX-91 Buffalo

You might want to check out Fred Gray's excellent train symbol web page for
ideas.

Good Morning!  What I am doing is using the yard symbols as the train
symbols. A example would be HF/PO, for a Meadville eastbound freight
train to Port Jervis.  I like using symbols that are a little easier to
understand. I would like to use MDV for Meadville, JMT for Jamestown and
SAL for Salamanca makes more sense to me.
