Lube Stencil Abbreviations
Yesterday I was photographing at an Ex-Conrail heavy-duty flatcar and on the lube stencil it had the abbreviation "SR". I was wondering if this would have been the code for Hollidaysburg, referring to its name as the "Sam Rea Shops".

Thanks.

Can't answer your question, but I've seen "SR" referred to on many gondolas that have been stenciled with something such as this:

"CLEANED CR-SR
12 - 21 - 89 "

Couldn't it mean the car was owned by Conrail but lubed/shopped at a Southern shop?

SR = Sam Rae car shops, otherwise known as the Holidaysburg car shops. Come on freight car guys, you're supposed to know this stuff! Lol!
