    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.
