CSX train symbols.

Can someone help me out on a CSX train symbol.
I am wondering what CSX R260-23 is and where it originated as well as its destination.

Thanks, Jon

R would signify a re-route of a Q-series train.  But there is no Q260, only 257 and 261 .  Should give a starting point though for others to add information.

Thanks guys. This has helped me immensely. I think I found out what train it should have been and that would be Q264. What I have been following is FURX 5509 destined for the NHN New Hampshire North Coast. Q264 is a train destined for Framingham Mass. So this makes sense as it would be brought to Boston on the B721 and picked up by (NHN) in Boston.

This is what I have so far. FURX 5509 left Rose Lake IL. on the Q687-20 to Avon IN. Then it was spotted in Cleveland on this R260-23. So this could be a typo. The Avon to Cleveland is where it gets fuzzy for me as to what train.
So if anyone out there sees or here's about it's whereabouts let me know.

Thanks, Jon
