Well that's not current, I guess. Z283 is a Lima, OH originating train for the CSX system. Not really sure if HNW even gets a train symbol, as they don't come out onto controlled track. Similar to the GRE not getting a Z-train symbol anymore.

Z283 is indeed a foreign line train out of Lima, OH. The HNW running as the Z283 expired on 11/26/22 according to CSX computer systems.
