What is the EDI 418?
The EDI 418 lists the cars and containers in a train, in order, before the train is handed from one railroad to another. The receiving railroad uses it to plan yard work and to confirm that the equipment arriving matches the waybills it holds.
How EndlessEDI handles the 418
EndlessEDI supports the 418, so equipment movement along a rail route can be tied back to the inbound shipment it carries.
