I was wondering if one train becomes another at the end of a route. For example, I live in Carbondale, IL. At 9:35pm, the 393 Illini comes in from Chicago. At 7:30 the next morning, the 390 Saluki leaves Carbondale for Chicago. Does the 393 stay in Carbondale all night (I know one train does) and then wye itself to be the 390 at 7:30? If that's the case, why do they have it to be the 393 Illini going south is also the 390 Saluki going north, and the 391 Saluki going south is also the 392 Illini going north? I mean, why not make the trips the same name? For example, the 390 Saluki leaves Carbondale at 7:30, and arrives in Chicago at 1:00. Does it stay there until 4:05 and become the 393 Illini? And if so, why not call the 393 Illini the 391 Saluki? Make sense?
Also, how do employee shifts work? If people start there day here in Carbondale, and are on the 390 Saluki at 7:30am, do they stay on until Chicago at 1:00pm, just hang out for 3 hours, then hop on the 393 Illini at 4:05pm, and return to Carbondale at 9:35pm?
I'm not sure why, or how this came about, but I'm intrigued and want to know how it all works!
