Note:

Note: If you wish to add a railcar that has similar characteristics to another railcar that is already in RMS, instead of clicking on the New button, highlight the other railcar, click Edit and then once the Railcar window appears, click on the New Similar button.

1. From the Home window, expand the Data Management branch and double-click the Railcars Update branch.

   RailcarsUpdateWindow

2. Highlight the railcar that you wish to update and click the Edit button (you may also simply double-click on the railcar).

3. Make necessary changes and/or fill in the blanks with all pertinent information. 

4. Click the Save command button.

Note:

If you need to change the initials and/or number of a railcar, click on the Change marks command button; this will enable these fields.
ONLY DO THIS IF THE RAILCAR HAS ACTUALLY BEEN RESTENCILED .  Otherwise, you should never change the initials and/or number of a railcar because this will cause invalid measurements.
