Thhanks!! B-747 appears 6 days a week here at NH Station between 7am and about 12 pm, depending on how much work it has to do down the line

From what I know B742 and CSO-1 (Springfield to Cedar Hill & return CSO job) are one in the same, with B742 just being the CSX symbol. I've never heard CSO-1 - or anything else - called by that symbol but they do have identical routings. With the CSX GP40-2s being rotated in and out on CSO-1 I don't see why there would need to be another train- it's probably just a CSX train operated by CSOR or a dead symbol held over from the Conrail split.
