The first run through NS train on the CF&E was through Van Wert WB at 3:30pm. Leading were NS 1050/9064/9855 with a long mixed freight. Had heard symbol maybe was W1E. Is this symbol correct? Can some of you find out symbol for sure.

I've heard 3 reports before yours as being W1E so I'd say that is correct. I heard it is a Conway to UP freight.

One of our members here is in management at Triple Crown in Fort Wayne, I have to think that if a TCSZ train went that way he surely would have known about it.
