CLMs

Serving as a single source of data collection, BDS gathers car location messages (CLMs) from all reporting railroads to update rail shipments in RAILTRAC®. This simplifies the process for you and provides reliable, real-time information. CLMs are available from all Class 1 carriers and over 250 Shortline railroads.

CLM Transactions Supported:

  • Fleet - basic fleet reporting with fleet update capabilities linked to RAILTRAC® for adding and removing railcars from fleet services.
  • CLR - CLM request for free-runner moves used for non-fleet shipments of customers or railroad owned equipment.
  • CLT - temporary fleet additions for third-party or non-shipper supplier moves.
  • CLM Rewind – collection of recent CLMs back to the last shipment should CLM feeds be cut.
  • Waybill Collection – collection of CLMs based on waybill supplier or consignee.
