Reply To: ZTS, CLIC, SPINS… what system did MP use?

[anonymous]

I like your example, Ted. It’s similar to what I’m used to seeing on BNSF’s TSS, although the information is presented in a different way.

I’m pretty sure that the station code for Fort Worth is still the same; I seem to recall having TP250 on my UP track warrants. I’ve worked as an engineer on that MP to FW&D transfer job many times in its modern UP to BNSF form working as the YA110J (inbound) and YFW63 (outbound), so I’ve seen many wheel reports but never this side of things.

The car kind and STCC load kind are interesting. BNSF uses a different car kind code, and places the L/E information after the car kind, but I’m assuming the STCC code and descriptor are universal. Is there a master list of car kinds and STCC codes available for browsing?

Thanks very much for the breakdown on the trip plan!
