    Hello all, need some input into deciding what I should use for my reporting marks, the name of my railroad is The Georgia System Rwy.
    I thought maybe GSRX, what do you think? Is this being used? Thanks for any opinions.

    An X designates a car owner that does not operate a railway, and GSRX does belong to a company called Golden Spike Railroad Services.

    According to this list, GS, GSR, and GSRY are all available.

    Jeff,Transportation is exactly what it stands for and is the reason CSX uses CSXT for their marks (X means private owner).

    When I have my new freightcar decals made up for the Grande Valley I am changing them from GVRR to GVRT. :D
