Questions on the Burlington Northern .

[Justinmiller171]

No, Conrail did not use SPINS diagrams. Conrail (and several other railroads) used ZTS (Zone Track Spot) diagrams, which were similar to the SPINS (Southern Pacific Industrial Numbering System) diagrams used by the Southern Pacific, the CLIC (Car Location Identity Code) diagrams used by the Santa Fe, the TIP (Track Identification Program) diagrams used by the Western Pacific, and the SLIC (Shipper Location Identity Code) diagrams used by the Kansas City Southern.

More about such codes e.g. here: http://home.earthlink.net/~mrsvc/sitebui...ldj_26.pdf
