RE: (erielack) SF-100 consist sheet

[Robert Stafford <erielack1_@_yahoo.com>]

About the only people on the railroad that use the ARR
list is the mechanical department for various record
keeping activities. For handwritten lists such as
switch lists, condr wheels a simple letter was used,
and this sometimes changed from person to person. 
Also the railroads had their own prefix's used in the
computer reporting systems. On the BN a 100 ton
covered hopper was a C6, a 40 ft narrow door box car,
such was the type used to load grain, was a B2.
