Rail Car Mounting Guidelines
Install two tags on each rail car on opposite ends and opposite sides of the equipment.
Install one on the right front (“A” end) and another on the left rear (“B” end).
Tag Placement Window Location
Horizontally, the tag placement window extends from the center line of the truck to two feet
from the center line of the inside axle (measure toward the center of the vehicle). Vertically,
the tag placement window begins at two feet above the top of the rail end and extends to
a maximum of five feet above the top of the rail. The tag should not cover car stenciling.
