CAT's are Certified Air Technicians. RPCNB offers, as a RPCA member service, the ability for our member CAT's to have uploaded COT&S (Clean Oil Test & Stencil) and other inspections and dates under the RPCNB shop Code.
An agreement must be signed before this service may be used and copy of your current Air Brake Card certification submitted. As this is a member service for RPCA members, your membership will need to be verified.
RPCNB will only upload air dates from our CAT's or from a Amtrak PC form with a COTS date signed by an Amtrak inspector. The Amtrak upload is only available for RPCNB subscriber cars.
The Forms page also contains a SOP or Standard Operating Procedure for upload of air date information. Before requesting an upload, please read this document.
There is also a form to assist you in providing the proper data for upload. It is titled: Air Brake Test Upload Data Form. It is available on the Forms & References page. Please send data via email. Snail mail takes longer!
There is a charge for this service. For current pricing, refer to the Fees & Payment page.
