This is another subject that doesn't have an easy answer. Major repairs of other railroads' equipment requires the approval of the owner. IF the repair is smaller, known as running repairs, they are completed as necessary and the car is forwarded on its route. The railroad term for a car needing repair is "bad order". Such a car would be so tagged with a bright orange placard with the words Bad Order boldly showing with smaller spaces for defect(s) date, etc. Wheels, wheel sets, bearings, etc. would be a major repair. Running repairs are things like brake shoes or air hoses. Ordinarily, service delays caused by defective equipment are not compensatory to the customer, but that can mitigated by individual customer relations. gdc
