These articles cover day to day freight operations on the Santa Fe, Union Pacific, Rio Grande, MKT, MP and train symbol histories on the Burlington Northern and Southern Pacific. This information is taken from a large collection of railroad employee timetables, manifest schedules, dispatcher reports, and blocking books.
