Engineer Spike wrote:Bow coal trains were NHB#. The number signifies which one for the year. If one ran on 1January, it would be NHB1. Then next one would be NHB2............Not quite, they are the order/load number from the plant (or something to that effect), and they usually change back to 1 sometime in the late winter/early spring.

I'm wondering why they wouldn't use NMMA/MANM unless there is a difference between the two.Give it a week, and everything will probably have a new flavor!
