Could someone who maybe lives near the pass acquire some modern Union pacific train symbols? Any help would be appreciated. :D

I think he means the train symbols. The letters and numbers assigned to a train traveling over Cajon

Kind of like NS 124 from Chattanooga, TN to Decatur, IL via Frankfort, IN.

Yes sir I would like modern symbols please. Thank you and sorry I was not more specific. !!**sorry**!! *!!thnx!!* I would really like UP trains that just run over cajon pass and go to where ever. I am not from there so I have no clue. There are not any vids on youtube with train symbols. Just a bunch of trains going somewhere. LOL !*roll-laugh*!

Same, I'm from Indiana and the symbols I really care about are NS ones. And I tried but I just don't understand UP train symbols, it's a more complex system than numbers like NS 34Z (Decatur, IL to Frankfort, IN)
