Motivation

[edit]

While we have serial number (P2598) which is usually good enough to uniquely identify most locomotives, it does not help when a manufacturer does not use serial numbers – these are usually the railway companies' own workshops. It also does not help to identify carriages and wagons, as these were rarely issued serial numbers.

In these cases, works' order numbers can be used as the next-best identifier. Also, many locomotive and rolling stock manufacturers included the order number on their official photographs. — Iain Bell (talk) 11:58, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
