Classification of the coaches and cars of railroad

In 1938

During the creation of the SNCF marking is unified. One finds thus for the cars traveller:

a large letter indicating the indication of the class:

a: 1st class
b: 2nd class
C: 3rd class
D: van (the 4th class having disappeared)
S: convey with special use
WR: coach restoring

a figure indicating the number of compartments

a small letter in certain cases:

C: compartment with berths
D: dutiable compartment (case of the vans)

a figure indicating the number of compartments

a series of letters indicating specificities of the material:

m:
there:
F:
I:
S:

a series of figures indicating the position of the car in the series

For the coaches goods one finds:

a large letter indicating the type of material:

K: covers
E: covers with transport
F: covers for early products
L: covers with shutters
H: special
I: special
S: special
J: dishes of less than 9 m working length whose edges are partially or completely folding
NR: dishes of less than 9 m working length whose edges are partially or completely folding
OJ: dishes of more than 9 m and less than 15 m working length whose edges are partially or completely folding
Q: dishes of more than 9 m and less than 15 m working length whose edges are partially or completely folding
R: dishes of more than 15 m working length whose edges are partially or completely folding
T: tipcarts
M: vans

In 1964

Within the framework of UIC, the classification of the Coach S and cars of railroad are defined by an international payment. The number of Immatriculation comprises twelve digits according to the following diagram:

figures 1 and 2: Code of the mode of exchange
figures 3 and 4: code of the immatriculateur organization
figures 5 to 8: features of the vehicle
figures 9 to 11: sequence number
figure 12: calculated key (self-checking)

Calculation of the key of control

The calculation of the Clé of control is done while multiplying alternatively by 2 and 1, of the right-hand side to the left, all the figures of the number of coach. Then one calculates the sum of all the figures obtained. The complement of this total to higher ten gives the self-checking. This one is written following the number of coach, separated from this last by a hyphen.

Examples

Number of coach: 21-81-2471217

2 1 - 8 1 - 2 4 7 1 2 1 7 multiplication by 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 result 4 1 16 1 4 4 14 1 4 1 14 Summon figures: 37, higher ten: 40 => self-checking = 3

Number of coach: 51-80-0843001

5 1 - 8 0 - 0 8 4 3 0 0 1 multiplication by 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 result 10 1 16 0 0 8 8 3 0 0 2 Summon figures: 30, higher ten: 30 => self-checking = 0
