The regularly scheduled CN haulage trains will retain their CN numeric
symbols. The CN haulage UNIT trains (Grain-Potash-Sulphur etc.) will
have WC Alpha Symbols while operating on the WC. Locals and yard jobs
will KEEP their old symbols (L5150, FL089, etc). Long term will probably
see new symbols for WC unit trains (Ore-Coke-Coal, etc) established.

Here is how the new train symbols break down.

"NBST2T-24"   
The 1st two letters are the originating station.
In this case, NB for New Brighton, MN. 
The 2nd two letters are the terminating station.
In this case, Stevens Point, WI. 
2T means the 2nd  train running this day under this symbol.
"T" is the train type, "T" Thru train, "Z" Intermodal, "L" Local, "P" Passenger etc.
24 is the date the train runs of the current month.  
An extra train would be symboled XNBST2T-24, "X" being for Extra. 

Below is the a listing for station abbreviations for use under this new system.
