Hey guys,

I'm going through some older shots I've taken, and came across a shot I don't have a symbol marked down for (just want it for my notes for future reference at a slide show or whatever). Shot at approximately 1745 at CP-PANAMA, heading West down the Bison Runner. Taken on 8/8/08, with a lone NS C40-9W #9960. I know it's an H symbol of some sort, but beyond that, I'm clueless. Anyone have any ideas?

Thank in advance!

I'm going to guess H1K.

A guess based on the time would be either a slightly late H0Q heading west or else an H1N crew heading to Frontier Yard.

H0Q sounds right (and looks to be the best choice)...they were heading down the Bison Runner, as there was an EB waiting on the Howard Runner that just came across International Bridge, so H1N is eliminated from the scenario. Thanks for the help guys!
