Car Markings and Classification Types
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, May 1, 2002 3:24 AM
Hey all,

Can anyone tell me a good online source for information and a COMPLETE listing of car classification types for waybills and card systems? I was also looking for definitions for the major road symbols for cars like DODX, TTX, GATX, etc. Thanks so much!

Here is a website link to rr reporting marks. http://www.trainscan.com/mark/mark_mks.html

If you need more info, check on lycos.com and look up: Railroad Reporting Marks , and you'll get alot more and other info. There is also a book called "Freight Train Cars" from MBI Publishing, that explains about freight cars, markings and how the whole system works to an extent. It's a great source, only about $15.00 too.
Later, Pete

Thanks Pete.

I had been to several search engines and had not come up with a good listing. Even went to the AAR page. Thanks again.
