​As many of you have already heard, AAR Circular OT-5 will be modified to remove sections pertaining to Loading Authority, and a new AAR Circular OT-57 will be published to address the new Loading Authority process and requirements.  As a result, the current OT-5 system will be retired by Railinc and replaced with a new OT-57 platform.  AllTranstek is an active member of the TAG as well as the systems development team that is driving these changes, which are a cooperative initiative between NAFCA (North America Freight Car Association) and the AAR (Association of American Railroads).
