Transportation Codes & Transportation Conditions Codes ACACSO Meeting November 11, 2010 Presented by: Todd Poland, General Director Car Accounting Watco Created by: Rick Hobb, Director Interline Transportation Railinc

TC/TCC Code Types UMLER Pool Management – Basic Rules § Freight cars must be Railroad Marked or Railroad Controlled Private Cars to be in an UMLER Pool § UMLER Pools tie back to AAR Car Service Directives or Special Car Orders § Pools are: C – Shipper, G – Contaminated, J – Agent, N – National, O – Lease Termination/Shopping, P – Commodity, and R – Agent

UMLER Pool Management – Basic Rules UMLER Pools must be created and maintained in the EMIS System at Railinc. Contact UMLER@railinc. com for additional information on creating UMLER Pools

AAR Car Service Directives TC/TCC Basic Rules Railroad Car Management teams use Transportation Codes and Transportation Condition Codes to manage empty car return for cars in assignment to UMLER Pools and for Mechanical or age related circumstances Source for AAR Car Service and Special Car Orders is the AAR Circular OT-10

AAR Car Service Directives TC/TCC Basic Rules For freight cars in UMLER Pool Assignment for CSD 145, 155, and 435 empty cars carrying Transportation Codes C, G, P, or R must be reverse routed to the pool assigned railroad unless the loading road receives permission to reload the car. For CSD 435 TC G, car must be handled in reverse route back to the loading road. For freight cars in UMLER Pool Assignment for CSD 145, 155, and 435 empty cars carrying Transportation Code J the car may be reloaded without the owners permission. For freight cars in CSD 175 UMLER Pool Type O cars must be withdrawn from service and returned empty reverse route.

AAR Car Service Directives TC/TCC Basic Rules For freight cars in UMLER Pool Assignment for CSD 145 with Transportation Code N – National Pool handle empty cars per pool owners instructions

AAR Car Service Directives TC/TCC Basic Rules Car Service Directive CSD 150. If the empty car has a TC/TCC U_ it can be returned empty or if loaded it must be loaded to or via the home road. TU cars are handled under SCO 90 rules.

AAR Car Service Directives TC/TCC Basic Rules Car Service Directive CSD 435 - unassigned covered hopper cars. TC/TCC W. üReturn the car to the home road at any junction; or üreturn the car to the junction where received under load if that junction is not a junction with the home road

AAR Car Service Directives TC/TCC Basic Rules For all AAR Car Service Directives the car owner can issue handling instructions different from the standard return rules in the directive, but the holding road can exercise it’s option to comply or return the car under the provisions of the directive.

SCO 200 – D Code Railroad Marked Cars - D Code will stay up on a car for 180 days from first reported movement event to TRAIN II or until one of the three events below occur. ü The car has not located on the railroad for 180 days (interchange reported to the owner) ü The car has not been loaded on the railroad to which it’s assigned in UMLER ü The car has not been loaded on the leasing railroad’s line

SCO 200 – D Code Private Marked Freight Cars – üD Code will remain on the car for 180 days from the first movement event reported to TRAIN II, or ü D Code will be removed when the first loaded movement event is reported to TRAIN II (waybills are not considered loaded events)

SCO 90 E and T Coded EAC approved changes to the SCO 90 Order to allow: ü Private Marked SCO 90 type cars with a railroad in the UMLER Lessee Field to be managed under SCO 90 rules – Allows T coding and return to the railroad leasing the car.

SCO 90 E and T Coded EAC approved changes to the SCO 90 Order to allow: ü Foreign Railroad Marked SCO 90 type cars in UMLER Pools to generate E Codes and return empty under SCO 90 rules to the UMLER Pool Assigned railroad

Railroad and Railinc Programming to Support SCO 90 Upgrade Railroads programmed to recognize privately marked railroad controlled freight cars with a railroad in the Lessee Field and foreign railroad marked cars in UMLER Pools that receive Transportation Code T or E based on current SCO 90 Business Rules and Transportation Code logic. Privately marked railroad controlled cars and foreign marked railroad assigned cars in AAR pools with Transportation Codes C, G, J, R and P will be subject to Transportation Code E when loaded by a railroad other than the UMLER Pool assigned railroad.

Railroad and Railinc Programming to Support SCO 90 Upgrade Railinc programmed to generate Transportation Codes T and E for privately marked railroad controlled freight cars with a railroad in the Lessee Field and foreign railroad marked cars in UMLER Pools. Privately marked railroad controlled cars and foreign marked railroad assigned cars in AAR pools with Transportation Codes C, G, J, R and P will be subject to Transportation Code E when loaded by a railroad other than the UMLER Pool assigned railroad.

Car Service Car Hire Agreement Definition Changes to Support SCO 90 EAC also approved the following changes in the Definitions for the Car Service Car Hire Agreement. The changes will be published in the AAR Circular OT-10 in a future addition.

Car Service Car Hire Agreement Definition Changes to Support SCO 90 New Definition: Car Leasing Railroad – For the purposes of these rules the Car Leasing Railroad is the railroad shown in the Lessee Field in the UMLER File. Railroad and private railroad controlled cars are considered “Home” on the car leasing railroad’s line. Revise Definition of “Home” Home Car – A location where a car is in the hands of the owner or car leasing railroad.

Special Car Order 90 Revisions EAC approved revisions to the SCO 90 Order to clarify the changes made for the SCO 90 Upgrade to include language for private marked railroad leased equipment, and returning foreign marked cars to UMLER Pool Assigned railroads. The UMLER Lessee Field will govern if a railroad is in that field, and it’s in SCO 90.

Freight Cars Prohibited in Interchange Transportation Code X and Condition Code: XA – AAR Overage* XT – Truck Bolster XB – Air Brakes XU – Tank Cars XC – Axles XW - Wheels XD – Couplers and Coupler Parts XZ – Other Restriction – Not Rule compliant XF – Coupler Yokes or not subject to AAR Interchange Rules XG- Draft Gears XJ – Journal Bearings and Journal Lubrication * Inserted by Railinc and will override all XN – Trucks other AAR restriction codes XP – Truck Side Frame

Freight Cars Prohibited in Interchange Transportation Code Y Y_ - FRA Interchange Restricted YA* – FRA Overage (50 Years or Older) – Car cannot be interchanged. * YA is generated by Railinc and overrides all codes except S_ or SX

Freight Cars Moving to Scrap Transportation Codes S_ - A condemned car or car destined for scrap or dismantling. Moved by agreement only SX – Car sold for scrap under AAR Interchange Rule 88, and can never reenter (rail) service

Umler/EMIS Project – Equipment Management Codes Umler/EMIS Project Solution: Equipment Management Codes -Break information into unique pieces -User Input routing instructions -System generated routing instructions -Mechanical restriction reasons Currently a one-to-one mapping of TC or EMC exists, but this will go away as new codes are created Eventually TC/TCC will be phased out. No set date, necessity will dictate Internal development needs to migrate to EMC to prevent limitations
