The class of freight handled…
A-Carloads and less, forwarded and received
N-no freight handled
L-less than carload only
I-carloads inbound
O-carloads outbound
C-company material
P-passing track
Kind of agency (also apparently appearing in that same column)
T-ticket
F-freight
Tel-Telegraph
Bag-Baggage
*-prepaid station, no freight agent
‘t’-coupon ticket station [symbol is actually dagger pointed down]
The letter N, S, E or W after station name indicates that freight depot or platform is north, south, east or west of track. I suppose that is necessary in case a car needed to be unloaded from a certain side.
