 Eleven Digit Wagon Numbering System
Indian Railways have adopted new numbering system for
wagons to facilitate computerization.
• · First two digits indicate the type of wagon
• · Next two digits represent the owning railway
• · Fifth and sixth digit indicate the year built of the wagon
• · Next four digits is the serial number of the wagon
• · The last digit is the check digit.
Calculation of the check digit:
• A. Add all the numbers in even position
• multiply the answer with 3
• B. Add all the numbers in odd position
• C. Add both the values of A and B
• The number required to round the value of C to next round of
10 is the check digit
