@Kempy72 Hello, Kempy! H-GALBAR1 is a daily priority manifest freight which runs between Galesburg, Illinois, and Barstow, California. This particular train had a lot of coiled steel traffic, but it's not a solid unit train (BNSF does run such trains occasionally). See the link below for a listing of many BNSF train symbols and what they stand for. The list is not entirely up to date, but it will give you an idea of the BNSF system. http://railroadfan.com/wiki/index.php/BNSF_Train_Symbols
Thanks, Keith. That makes sense now, here they have a combination of numbers and letters and numbers. The numbers often mean the locations and the letter/number combo like 3BW7 it departs on a Tuesday from Brisbane to Wollongong and is the 7th train in the timetable from Brisbane.
