That explains why I was having trouble. thats tricky for sure thank youBe glad you’re on a train. The boat shipping seems to be adding a month to delivery times. The trains have been far more reliable.
Depends on which system you call.
With CSX, you can speak the whole car initial and number or input it. If you’re in a quiet area, speaking it generally works well but sometimes it can be touchy. If you need to enter it manually you have to enter the initials (letters first) and the format they use is tricky. Yours is UCRY so to enter that you would type in 8-2 (U) 2-3 (C) 7-3 (R) 9-3 (Y) then it says enter number so yours would be 0-0-1-9-5-5 followed by two pound signs #-#. It should then give you the location information. If you need it to repeat just press 1 again. It can sometimes be difficult to understand the location name so if you are struggling with that let me know and I can check it for you. I have a relative who works for them and he is able to decipher where it’s at (usually).
As for Union Pacific, their system still confuses me. I have tried typing in the car numbers but haven’t had much success so I just say it verbally and that usually works.
