I work for rail.

That's pretty much it.

The serial numbers are on the axle bearing covers, BTW.

Do train cars ever go missing? What’s the procedure for missing rail equipment?

[bombcar]

They actually do get lost quite often. There’s quite a bit of law around ownership of rail, cars, requirements, and maintenance and who’s in control and who’s in charge. All those numbers you see on the side of it are part of the tracking to figure out where things are.
