Plate C - Limited Interchange Service The Plate C stencil must be legible. This stencil plays an important role in ensuring that your tank car is delivered safely.

These size specifications are necessary to ensure that the tank car will be able to proceed unrestricted along greater than 95% of the total mileage of track.
