I think I see what you need.
I think you should number the trains by the route travelled.
1-9 are through passenger trains interchanged with both UP and BNSF.
10s and 20s run between the UP and BNSF
30s run from the UP interchange to somewhere on the line. (or back)
40s from the BNSF interchange to somewhere on line.
50s run in the middle of the line.
90s are yard switching jobs -- no to minimal mainline action.
Definitely have nicknames for the worst jobs. If the GERN plant produces automotive Flux, it could be the Grease Job or the Grease Monkey; medicinal Flux the Lady of Mercy or the BandAid. If the official name of the train gets over 3 letters the crew will probably have a shorter and ruder name for it.
