Interestingly, Conrail revived the use of the SV symbols around 1995. Up on
the NYC main, it was cool to hear the Buffalo mainline dispatcher call
"SV-6", as this was one of the Central's Flexix Van trains. Conrail had
decided to use the SV for "premium" service van trains, but for whatever
reason dropped it after a period. CR also revived the old NYC "ML" symbols
for multi - level autorack trains and it remained until the unfortunate NS /
CSX split.
The Penn Central created the TrailVan service name by combining the "Trail"
from PRR's "Truc Train" trailer service and the "Van" from the NYC's
"SuperVan" service.
