The code typically reflects the name or identifying number of the owner, lessee, or operator of the equipment, similar to IATA airline designators.

This information is used to uniquely identify every such rail car or locomotive, thus allowing it to be tracked by the railroad it is traveling over, which shares the information with other railroads and customers. In multinational registries, a code indicating the home country may also be included. Standard practices North America The Association of American Railroads (AAR) assigns marks to all carriers, under authority granted by the Surface Transportation Board, U.S. Surface Transportation Board, Canadian Transportation Age ...
