I believe they used these on cabooses also. there is a photo in Craig Bossler's equipment book of a caboose marked "BRP" for Bridgeport. and after Bridgeport closed and everything was transfered to Abrams they used "ABR" until they stopped using the terminal markings.about mid 1960's. the Alco C-424's were marked "RU" Butch Curll

There was a list in one of the first Bee Lines - not sure how complete it was, however I will look that up and see if that had anything additional from this list. And yes, some caboose's also had the assignment stencil.

Here is a photo of G-1 #130 showing the pilot markings of the PRSL and like Butch said in an earlier post the CTE on the firemans side for Camden. The year of the shot I am uncertain. Bill.
