What is a "builder's plate"?
A builder's plate is a plaque or piece of metal attached to a train or vehicle that provides important information about the manufacturer and specifications of the equipment. It typically includes details such as the name of the company that built the train or vehicle, its serial number, the year it was constructed, and sometimes technical information like weight or capacity. Builder's plates are used for identification purposes and can be helpful for maintenance, repairs, or historical records. They are commonly found on trains, locomotives, and other transportation equipment.
