Notes:
Train number format:
First Position indicates class of train
· 0 = First (Through Passenger) (Number normally omitted)
· 1 = Second (Mixed Freights, Local Commuter)
· 2 = Third (Local Freight)
· 3 = Extra (Drag Freight)
· 4 = Special (ex. Work trains, circus trains, and other specials)
Second position indicates direction:
· 1 = East
· 2 = West
Third position indicates number of trains by class running that day.
Examples:
· Train 11 would be the first eastbound first class passenger
· Train 223 would be the third westbound third class local freight
· Train 318 would be the eighth eastbound extra drag freight
Train Speed:
Average train speeds over division (EL - WL) assuming 48-mile long division:
· Passenger - 60mph
· Mixed - 50mph
· Local - 40mph
· Drag - 30mph
Average speed assumes no stops, for example (Adding time for locomotive changes, switching and stations stops will easily add hours to these times):
· Passenger would take 48 minutes to travel over division.
· Mixed would take 58 minutes.
· Drag would take 1 hour 36 minutes.
