Can anyone give a detailed explanation of the "RS-41" stencil seen on PC and CR freight cars that were held for heavy repairs or scrap? I recall hearing that RS-41 designated that a car needed at least a certain dollar amount of repair work, and was being held for scrapping. What was the dollar threshold that triggered the "hold for scrapping" designation? Was "RS-41" the PC form (paper) that was used to write up a given car?
When you saw that stencilled on a freight car, you knew you'd be shaving with it in less than a year (turned into razor blades).
LCJ, LBAGG, Chief Troll, some of youse guys must know this....
