Assignment of Reporting Marks
|
Charlie Vlk
All-
As promised, here is a letter from the American Railway Association dated September 12, 1923 making assignment of the reporting marks for use of the John H. Grace Company.
The business of the company was largely refurbishing previously owned and leasing them out to clients so the G.R.Y.X. reporting marks were seen on a wide variety of older tank cars, but some new built tanks and other car types also used the marks (probably most notably, the Empire Fuel Coal Company G.R.Y.X. 1018 box car which has been produced in N Scale by Micro-Trains.

All- Guy is correct. I have a copy of a letter that granted Grace Tank Car line their reporting marks. I'm not at my main computer to access it right now and it was likely predecessor ARA given the authority as the company was active earlier. If of interest I will post it later. Charlie Vlk
