I'm looking for the "defintions" of the freight car symbols I see used on the fallen flag site and Dekosoft...I have been able to conclude several of these from the various sites - hoping for a reference and comprehensive listing.HT appears to be open hoppers
LO appears to be covered hoppers, etc.
XM appears to be 86' Box carsAny help would be greatly appreciated.Many thanks! Happy Holidays!!!Michael

RE: Freight Symbols

XM is the standard AAR designation for an enclosed boxcar (house car), not just 86' cars. The XM is infact reserved for general service, Cars equiped with load restraits, special loading, and assigned service have other designations such as XAP (autoparts), XA (Automobiles), DF, amoung others.That's what I have off-hand. PM me if you want more.Atlanic Pacific Garrett
