Railroad terms

I just saw an O train on the outbound lineup....

Going to a grain elevator with 64 loads of something where there should be 100 empty covered hoppers going...


Anybody have any idea? I have never been on a train with an Oxxxxx alpha.

Ya i saw a few of them a few days ago here, i have seen O used for ore before but have no idea if its going to a elevator. but there have been alot of strange id's. The E moves are great unless its for the dam Avon train.

That is called a special grain on the move.

Just found ot an O alpha on the UP is "other bulk commodity"

I think this one happened to be alot of fertilizer
