 Often shortened to LN, especially in the context of [[usage:interlocking:ars]] and sometimes called the line number, the Line is not required to be a number but often is, especially on metro systems. LN is a singular identifier for the line or service that the train is running.
-Though it's often called the line "number", it's not actually required to be a number. For instance, metro line one in a city might have LN A. There's nothing stopping you from adding spaces inside of a line number, but that doesn't match with convention and works against the way that ARS works.

 One could conceivably have service-pattern specific line numbers though like 1UP, 2DN for the main route in each direction (Wikipedia: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_directions|Rail directions]]), or maybe a 1 and 1a for short running.
