Getting good marks
A couple of posts ago I mentioned that the gondolas were on the property, i.e. on the layout. I also mentioned that they were without reporting marks. No, the gondolas were not attending school. How would they raise their hands to respond to the teacher anyway? No, reporting marks as I have probably already mentioned, have the initials of the owning railroad as well as the individual car number, or equipment number if a locomotive or other vehicle on rails. These marks are mandated by Federal law. Sometimes the car will have the initials or roadname in large letters on the side of the equipment if there is enough room and the owners chooses to do so. How many of you readers know of an actual example of what I am referring to? Please post your response in the comment section. I will get us started. The SOO railroad comes to my mind. Looking forward to some fun examples being posted, omscaler
