There are a few mixed freight and auto rack trains that run through my area now for which I can't find consistent information on the web, if anything at all. If someone can provide the current origin and destination for these, I'd be grateful.

I know you've got 186 and 189 wrong otherwise they wouldn't be coming anywhere near me in Virginia. Thanks just the same.

Well, thanks for your response...I think others who have intimate knowledge of the railroad operation should respond to your quest.

189 is a Linwood to Bellevue junk train runs Wed - Sun, if Linwood dose not have crews, which is the norm anymore, then it is piggybacked on 128 to Roanoke. Its blocked from Linwood, as Bellevues and Williamson coal hoppers, its counterpart is 188, is a run though all the way to Linwood. 186 runs to Linwood don't know where it starts from. 186 replaced 129 last summer. Its the train to pick up in any Linwood cars in Roanoke(aka 18M stuff). Hope this helps some.

I think 185 originates in Roanoke now.Almost 100% sure about that.
