Re: When the X's were added

Were PFE and MDT considered railroad-owned? Or was it just this wasn't
enforced? (PFE, MDT, and probably a few others that I can't recall
off-hand, were listed in the back of the ORER's in the private owner
section.) - John

Tom,

The ARA adopted the use of the "X" to indicate private ownership on May
18,
1910. A combination of letters assigned to each company was to consist
of:
"not less than two, nor more than four letters, in each case ending with
the
letter X, indicating private ownership."
