What this mark means

AVL does not end in X, U, or Z. Those suffixes are the AAR conventions for private railcars, containers, and trailers. A mark with this shape is the kind assigned to a railroad or other common carrier.

The owner wording comes from the English Wikipedia reporting-mark list, with wiki markup removed. An arrow (→) is a succession of names as that page printed it. A semicolon separates more than one company listed for the same mark. RailcarID does not decide which name is the current one, and it does not attach a build date, a dimension, or a location to any individual car.

Photos of cars with this mark

No photos are indexed for this page yet.

A later version of RailcarID will list public photos of a specific car on other sites. Each hit keeps the photo page link, the photographer's name, and the source site. A thumbnail is stored only when that source's license allows it. The picture itself stays on the original site.
