[quote]QUOTE: If I am a railroad that owns few cars yet I receive many in interchange owned by others, and reflective tape is considered a safety appliance I will be on the hook for replacing a lot of reflective tape at my expense over time. I will need additional personnel, inventory of tape and tools (powerwasher at least) and track space on my R.I.P. track for these cars. All of this is at my cost. If I need to pass this through to my customers I will have to raise rates and won't see anything at ther bottom line. [/quote] Wouldn't the owner of the equipment be on the hook for the up-grades or repairs? I know if a sill step or safety appliance is broken, then another railway will fix the item (for a price that is fixed by the AAR) then bill the owner of the equipment, wouldn't it be the same for reflectors? --It's not like host railways don't have a lot of time to get the tape on there either, all new locmotives and equipment seemed to be equiped with the tape now anyway.
