Agenda What is an AAR Car Service Directive (CSD)? Relationship between CSDs / UMLER Pools / Transportation Code / Transportation Condition Codes Car Service Directives CSD 145 CSD 150 CSD 175 CSD 435 Resources 8/15/2015 2

3 Car Service Directives Car Service Directives govern the return of empty cars for railroad marked or railroad controlled private cars. Car Management teams use Transportation Codes (TC) and Transportation Condition Codes (TCC) to manage empty car return for cars in assignment to UMLER Pools and for Mechanical or age related circumstances. For all AAR Car Service Directives the car owner can issue handling instructions different from the standard return rules in the directive, but the holding road can exercise it’s option to comply or return the car under provisions of the directive.
