The cost of Mars for the 21st Century is now only $7,200.00 and you can select your own payment plan, interest free! That means on a monthly basis, the purchase price can be as little as $120.00! I guess that is one of the reasons we have over sixty satisfied clients! The other reason is our customer support. Just ask our customers!

Create Error Free Data Exchange Files
Our system is designed to assist you in creating 100% error free data exchange files in the proper Railinc 500 Byte Data Exchange Format. On January 1, 2009, Railinc will reject all data exchange files if there are any errors in the file. On that date, non-critical errors become critical errors!

Below are examples of data exchange errors
1. Only roads that subscribe to retrieving data exchange can be in a data exchange file and must have the correct reporting marks.
2. Location Codes must be left justified if Alpha and right justified if Numeric.
3. If a job code does not require a location code, then there can be no location code.
4. When a location code is assigned to a job code, then it must be the appropriate location code for that job code.
5. Qualifiers can only be Rule 83 qualifiers or job appropriate qualifiers,(Numeric), assigned to the job code.
6. The combination of job codes, why made codes, responsibility codes and condition codes must be in the price master for AAR Job Codes that are machine priced.
7. Non-Machine Pricing records must show the hourly labor rate when labor is charged.
