Abbreviation quiz:

I did not see this until several others had already posted answers but I'll pretend I didn't see those. Here's what I remember without looking in any reference material:


a/c—account
A1
AFE—Authority For Expenditure (prepared many of these on the CNW)
B/A—Billed At (location)
BK—Brakeman (a guess)
BO—Bad Order (easy; anyone that didn't know this one?)
Bsk
Bx—Box (car)
C&E—Conductor & Engineer
jct—junction
Jt—Joint
K
Ld—Load (-ed car)
LFVC—Loaded Full Visible Capacity
MT—Empty (car)
NOIBN
Ntfy—Notify
O
OS—On Station or On Sheet (time by a location)
P.H.P.—Packing House Products (meat, etc.)
RIP—Repair In Place (according to magazine articles; I'm dubious)
Rpt—Repeat
Sk—Stock (car)
W&F
W/C—Waycar
WB—Waybill
WW&IB-Western Weighing & Inspection Bureau

This was fun!

No, I was not an agent or clerk on the railroad; engineering dept. on Up and CNW, then TYE on CNW, BN, and BNSF.
