@NS2589 Last time I spoke to him he was running Spartanburg and Somewhere in Ky. I guess Elkorn . I don't see him that much, I drive a truck and he's on the train so were both gone alot.
I used to live in Kingsport. How do you get to this spot to watch trains?? I do know how to get to the yard area in Erwin but not this south end spot.
@csxketh1 oh really? I thought the last two digits was the number of ocurrance of that symbol for the year (like this was the 65th time V385 had run this year). I dont know what his date symbol is then, fairly certain that his first 3 #'s are 385. for some reason i can pick NS symbols out of the radio chatter better than CSX. thanks for the info!!
My cousin is an engineer out of Erwin

The last two digits on the second trainaren't 65. The last two digits are the date when the train originated. So it could of been 05, 15, or 25.
