[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by jhhtrainsplanes</i> <br /><br />Let me add a few more questions to this topic, please. [:)] <br /> <br />How about insurance? <br /> <br />Policies are available through RR insurance brokers. <br /> <br />How about needed repairs? <br /> <br />The car owner pays for the repairs performed by RRs under the AAR Car Service rules. Private car owners are required to pay railroads for such repairs. They can have work done by private cars shops as well. <br /> <br />What about keeping track of the car (s) and knowing where they are? <br /> <br />It depends on the car type and use. Cars can be restricted by service or station. If they are unrestricted they are known as "free runners" This is often the case with standard boxcars such as RBOX cars. Cars can be traced by their UMLER information (AAR computer) through most major railroad websites. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />LC
