Eric,

Here are the symbol explanations. You will find most of them in the 
General Code of Operating Rules. I'm fuzzy on a couple but here goes.

Z - Scale (capacity to weigh cars)
C - Continuous Office (open 24hrs)
B - Bulletin or General Orders
W - Water (either a water tank or hose to add water 
to locomotives.
R - Train Register (book to write crew names, engine 
numbers, Highest bulletin in effect, on duty time 
watch time etc.
K - Standard clock (clock with correct time)
Y - Yard limits

You may even find the following symbols.

A - Automatic interlocking
F - Fuel 
I - Manual interlocking
J - Junction
M - RR crossed protected by gates or signals
O - Operator or agent 
P - Dispatchers phone
Q - Radio 
T - Turntable or Wye
U - RR crossing not protected by gates or signals
X - Crossover

s - regular stop
c - conditional stop (fuzzy on this one)
f - flag stop
A - arrive
L - leave

The numbers below the station names are the distance between those stations. 
If you look over to the milepost box you will see it adds up if you check 
milepost locations.

Hope this helps. 

Gary O.
