So I'm getting ready to post some videos of trains from summer of last year but I'm not sure if the symbol was A450 or L508 on a few trains I caught. The one I'm confused on was a southbound on the CN Holly Sub carrying mostly Coil cars on the first half of the train and then autoracks for the 2nd half, does anyone know what symbol that would be?
Also for the record, what does L508 consistently carry? Same for A450, what does that consistently carry?

Go to the main train location updates folder/thread. Search in there for the lead locomotive number of the train you are questioning.RoyalKingoftheRails wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 10:19 pmSo I'm getting ready to post some videos of trains from summer of last year but I'm not sure if the symbol was A450 or L508 on a few trains I caught.

That’s a good first start.
Re: CN A450 Vs. CN L508
They generally carry the same freight. L508 has intermodal where A450 typically did not. A450 also would have come from the west at Durand where L508 would come from the east at Durand.
