ID Plate
Most rail vehicles are equipped with ID plates on the sides. These plates display information about the vehicles' type, permanent unique registration ID number, body health, loaded cargo type, and its health. These values are updated in real-time.
The listed IDs are used to identify and refer to specific vehicle units in delivery orders, or fees.
Unique ID number of a vehicle can look something like “L-049”. The characters before the dash indicate the vehicle’s role:
- L – Main unit of a motorized rail vehicle
