unknown train symbol ont the Toledo Branch
Recently I have been well acquainted with CSX train symbols--specifically on the Toledo Branch Subdivision, but Friday I saw a train for which I have no information. I do not have a scanner, so I did not have a real way of learning this information easily. Anyways, around 7pm on Friday 9/23 I saw the clear signal light up at QT33 on the Branch. I was completely dumbfounded on what the train could be, assuming it was probably just a late Q218 or possibly a late return of the local. An hour later, it finally came through. UP SD70AH #7439 led a 75-car empty rack train straight through the diamond at Galatea. The only auto rack that I knew of running the Branch is the '3 a week' SB Q257 (which this train clearly was not). My guess is that it is some unscheduled extra movement from Honda in Marysville, but having never heard of a rack train run North on the Toledo Branch, so I am totally clueless as to its symbol. If anyone can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated!
