Railway Vehicle Owner's Code
The railway vehicle owner's code formed part of the vehicle number on the side of a railway coach or wagon. Until 2005 it was used to specify the owner of the wagon. However, the ''owner code'' did not necessarily reflect ownership of a vehicle but rather who had the right to use it. Since then the owner code has been replaced by the List of UIC country codes, UIC country code. The keeper of a vehicle is now indicated with a Vehicle Keeper Marking (VKM). The table shows the former numbers used. *later attribution References {{cite web , url=http://www.dansk-jernbanearkiv.dk/uic438/68ii.pdf , title=UIC 438-2 Anlage II: Vereinheitlichte numerische Kodifizierung der Eisenbahnverwaltungen , publisher=International Union of Railways, UIC , date=1968 , access-date=3 May 2018 , language=German External links UIC 438 – 50 years of railway vehicle markings

List Of UIC Country Codes
The UIC Country Code is a two digit-number identifying countries in which members of the International Union of Railways (UIC) are active. The UIC has issued numbering systems for rolling stock ( UIC wagon numbers) and stations that include the country code. The values are defined in UIC leaflet 920-14. The country code had originally been designed as a company code but mainly as a consequence of the reorganisation of the rail sector in Europe changes were necessary. When the former UIC vehicle number became a vehicle register number (European Vehicle Number, EVN) issued by governmental organisations, the code was attributed to the countries. Vehicle numbering is now governed by the Intergovernmental Organisation for International Carriage by Railsee: UTP Marking 2015, Uniform Technical Prescription Applicable to Vehicle Numbers and linked alphabetical marking on the bodywork: THE RAILWAY VEHICLE MARKING, Applicable from 1.1.2015, retrieved fromOTIF page Prescriptions and Other Rul ...
