Hello all. I was curious to know if anyone new about how NYC subway trains are identified in the system by dispatchers, supervisors, etc. Do they have a train number (or something like a train number)? Anyone know?

 

Thanks!

They have call letters.

 

Call letters if I can recall correctly are listed in the following:

 

Starting point, route, time when the train left the starting point, and ending point.

Full call letters: Terminal Departure Time (Interval), Route, Origin, Destination

 

In practice it is often shortened to Interval, Route, Current Location
